Mom called today with the news that my aunt died. I knew she was in the hospital because of a heart attack, but all I've been hearing is how well she was doing, how she was talking and laughing and how she was going to go home soon, and now I get a phone call about how she is dead. And because I'm here in Muncie I didn't even get to visit her with everyone else.

I feel a little blindsided. All this time mentally preparing myself for my grandmother to die and now I'm going to a funeral for Aunt Joan. Who always had lemon drops in her purse and angel figurines in her house and who took my crappy junior high poetry to her church so she could brag on me, so proud that I was a writer.

And I didn't even get to see her.


Now add to that that one my liitle sister's best friends, a kid I've known for years, tried to commit suicide a few days ago, and has been missing since he got out of the hospital, and no one has been able to find him, and I just want to pull the blanket over my head and stay in bed.

omg, I'm so sorry to hear all this, hun ♥

Even if you didn't get to visit her though, she knows you would have if you could. She knows you love her *hugs*

I hope they find your sister's friend - that's terrible. I lost my friend to what everyone thinks was a suicide 2 weeks ago. You'll be in my thoughts, and I'm here if you need anything - I know we don't know each other that well yet, but that's what friends are for :)

Thanks. *hugs*

Yeah, I know. Still wish I could have seen her though.

My sister's friend is fine by the way, he came home around one in the morning. We're all very relieved.

I'm so glad to hear that he came home.

And on a totally unrelated note, I adore your banner, omg ♥

Yeah, we were all very relieved when we hear he came home. Gave us all quite a scare.


And thanks! *beams* It was the first banner I ever made for LJ. Still trying to get the hang of photoshop, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. :)
