life and death

[herlastwords]

My grandmother died last week, it's been a week and a day and it finally reached my mind that she's gone forever. She died of pancreatic cancer, incurable. It took losing her to realize that I haven't recognized that I've lost others recently as well. Prankstir, Kaleen you were there for this one, I bawled my eyes out...and Sheila in Florida, she

I know how you feel for the most part. My aunt just recently died of pancreatic cancer too. After my mom's death, our family fell apart. My father did and said things that I really can't forgive. Darrin's mom is actually a lot like my dad, and has done and said things that Darrin can't forgive either. I just can't get close to her. Darrin's dad on the other hand is a really good person. He's more like my dad than my real dad is. I've also had problems keeping in touch, reaching out, etc.

In other words, although I'm pretty far away, I have an idea of what you're going through. If you need to talk, I'm here for you.

Hey just wanting to encourage you. We shouldn't have to spend our short lives working for someone else's dream. Unless that IS OUR dream. But instead, go do what you love. Be creative, you'll find a way. As for the writing thing, that's awesome, but do some research on it. That was always my goal when I was younger, to make a living as a writer. Then I did some research. Unless you're J.K. Rowlings, Steven King, or some other big name bestseller able to pound those novels out, almost all other writers have a job to support themselves in doing their "paid hobby" of writing
