Not good news

Jul 22, 2009 22:47

Well, my mom died yesterday after a hard-fought battle with cancer. It had been getting worse lately. She hadn't been eating and she was in a lot of pain. I was there with her. I watched her die. It was an odd and scary thing. I'm sad becuase she was only 50. I'm sad becuase she won't see my brother graduate with his undergrad this year. I'm sad ( Read more... )

*huggles*
if you don't want me to come down there next week & if you'd rather just be alone, i'll totally get it; i just figure it'll be good for you to get out & be distracted & be able to just... be without any pressure on functioning. if that doesn't sound like something you're game for, i totally get it & could totally use the 3 days to sleep & work on papers lol. goodness knows i need sleep.
but i'm totally 100% ok with busing it down there to help you through this. you ARE my pidgie, & we've been there for each other through a hell of a lot already, i feel like i should be there for you now & dammit, i'll try. you do get the final say though. i promise no hurt feelings if you say no. & don't worry about straining my finances cuz my mom already said she'd pay for my bus tix lol.

but yeah, *extra huggles* & know that we're all here for you if/when you need us (be there any amount of time &/or space between us)

I just ment that if you needed to work you could. I know that you have a lot going on right now. I dunno what's going on next week except Maggie's wedding on Sat. I don't know when I'll be going back to work. I was gonna go in for a little today but I feel tired.
If you wanna come I'd love to see you. I dunno where'd we would meet and stuff. Sorry I keep saying "I don't know" lol. Everything's just kind of in the air right now. If your swamped and want to wait a bit that's fine too. I know how crazy your life is right now. I also know that you wanna see me and be here for me. *hugs* thank you so much hon. I'll be turning on my cell soon, I had it off for while I was alseep so we'll have to see how things are going.
I love you tons!
*hugs* Pidge

it's no big, things have been pretty crazy for you (completely understandably) so stop apologizing! :P lol
so i'll get in touch with my mom & find out if it's ok if i take her car for a day or 2, & i could swing by for you & you decide what we do. we could just be mallrats, we could go see HP6 at the biggest effing theater around (maybe an AMC so we could see about a stuffed spock?), we could do Ren Faire, we could do six flags... sky's the limit hon. & anyone who wants to tag along is welcome to (as long as they either 1- have a car or 2- total less than 4 haha).
so yeah, i told my mom i'm coming out & just officially asked for the car, so we'll see about that, but i'll book my bus tix for monday morning & keep you posted & stuff. love you pidge!!!! *hugs*

...ps, just got a text from my mom, & she gave it the OK- so whatever you want to do, i has transportation!

I am so sorry, hon. I know how much my mother means to me, and I can only imagine how awful this must be for you. I will keep you in my thoughts. I'm so, so sorry.

I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. I think you are, in fact incredibly brave and strong to have delt with watching something like that. I don't think I could have done as much. I love you soo much and if you ever need to talk or your family needs anything I will not hesitate to drive out to see you. ♥
