As of two days ago, I have no living grandparents. Maybe if I post this, I won't let it slip my mind yet again. I don't mean to disrespect her memory, but this news isn't too important to me. This grandmother was the only grandparent I had ever actually seen more than a few minutes out of my entire life, but I never had any real reason to care about her. She was just there. Anyway, she's been in a nursing home with pretty full-blown alzheimer's for over a year. So, when I was told, I almost said, "finally". That's a quick way of saying, "I'm glad she can quit living the nightmare of waking up and not knowing where you are and not even recognizing your family and friends" in my own foot-in-mouth fashion. Perhaps that mental post-it will actually stick in my mind now.

I'm sorry to hear of all the craziness going on in your life, TMB. Good luck with caring for your parents, esp your mom, and the housing situation. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted, ok?

Gobo, even though you didn't know your grandma very well, I'm sorry for your loss. But I'm glad that she doesn't have to suffer with Alzheimer's anymore.

Holy crap, that's ever so uncool to have to deal with during the holidays. Words fail me.

Oh TMB! How awful! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss!

I know what it's like to lose someone dear to you as my Father passed away about two years back.

I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sure things will get better for you, and I hope they do soon!

Like Gobo said about his Grandma (the long version...not the short.) at least she's not suffering anymore. She's at peace. And like many of my friends told me after Rick passed, remember the good times and you're mom's not dead...she's always alive in your heart.

I never know what to say because I don't know what it is like to loose a parent but I just hope that you will be okay and that everything gets better for you.

I keep going back and forth. I cried this afternoon until my face was swollen and dehydrated, then Family Guy came on Adult Swim and I cackled myself into exhaustion. The moment I was over, it was back to torture.

Noise. I've always lived by an interstate my whole life. As long as the TV keeps me company, I'm alright. The moment the silence kicks in though, I fall apart.

Thanks for the kind words fella's. You guys have always been like family to me, so it helps a lot. Having people to talk to helps. This place helps. You guys help. I need every little bit I can get right now.
