Today I just got back from Christmas with my dad's side of the family down in Danville, IL. This is always a very sentimental time of year for me and my family since the passing of my Grandmother in 2000.

Hey..I know exactly how you feel...When my Grandma Laona died it never hit me because I was so young...We used to go to her house every christmas and santa would be there...Then when my Nana died my world changed completely...no more sewing or cooking everytime she came over, I never got those special blankets she would make me. That side of the family was so close until she passed. And when I was recently in Wisconsin for a friends wedding she got married at the church I used to go to school to and I didn't even recognize it. The only thing that hasn't changed would be the neighborhood I used to live in but everything else just isn't what it used to be. Its hard to go back to those places when you know it means so much to you especially when someone isn't able to be there. Like when we visited my grandpa when I was visiting U of W madison...i didn't recognize the house until I walked in..all the pictures tore me apart. But like you said...we'll hopefully all be together again someday!!
Love you!
Carly

Wow, that was deep. I miss the days when I was little, too. Pretty much, before Chris and Michelle had problems. Long time ago... Many difficulties have arisen since then... I won't burden you with them now. I miss the days of tree climbing and catching frogs... *psi*

My grandma almost died in the hospital. If she hadn't gone up to Minnesota to get a second opinion about her leg, they wouldn't have had the resources to stop the internal bleeding that she had. That scared the heck out of me.

Hey Nick,

It's your cousin Matt. I have to tell you after I read your Blog about Danville, I have to admit I was fighing the tears from about half way thru it and finally gave up. It is so true and the worst part about it is that is sucks. It really is like a second home in a lot of ways. Hope that you are getting back in the routine of classes ok talk to you later

Matt
