Happy Ending

I woke up today, at nine thirty and intended to start working on my English homework right away. Instead, I reset my alarm for 10:00 and slept a little more. I was so rushed after that, I forgot about an assignment, that I got ready in under five minutes and had to grab a smoothie to substitute for my breakfast and lunch. Not a great start. My

Kristin, I've been really worried about you ever since you started going to see Susan a lot. You care so much about everyone- maybe a little too much- and you have been making such an effort with Susan that I have just been afraid that you will burn yourself out from stressing over it. I know that it's something you feel you need to do, but I just hope that you take into account your own wellbeing in addition to hers.

I am doing fine, I enjoy going over there and seeing Susan and the kids. I am not over stressing the situation. Susan is dying and I can only watch it happen. I just feel helpless, but I know that it is okay to feel that way. Caring about people is who I am. Without it, I don't think that I would be anywhere near the same person and I like that I care. Susan and I have had several really good talks about how she has touched my life in so many ways, she knows that I really love her, like a mother and a mentor. That is all that really matters to me. She knows that I have been touched by her and she knows that I care. It didn't really hit me hard until two days ago that I was losing my second mother, thus the post. I know that I am going to come out of this situation a stronger person, that is what happens, or so I am told. This is just especially hard on me because Susan is the first person I am losing that I was really really close to, I am closer to her than I was to my own grandparents. I know that I am going to be down for a while,

I heart you too, and I hope that you realize I am always here for you as well. I guess I have not really gone to see you lately since you always seem to be out, but I will make sure to come by more often now

Thank you so much for caring. I think that I just might have to take you up on the offer of hanging out in your new room. Let's plan on moving into it this weekend. Sound good? I could probably use the distraction...
