So it looks like my mom will be heading to Vegas towards the middle of the month. My dad's mother, my grandmother is sick. I'm not really upset about this as we have had a tumulus relationship with my dad's parents for quite a while. My dad passed away seven years ago from lung cancer and there were many issues that happened prior to my dad getting sick that lead to the way that I feel about my grandmother but those aren't really important right now. The fact that when my dad died, that his own mother couldn't come out to the funeral, coupled with the fact that two months after my dad died, my grandparents were here in Pittsburgh. My sisters and I all wear necklaces given to us by my father, and my sister M wears my dad's necklace. We were at Eat 'n Park eating with my grandparents and my grandma comments on the necklace my sister M had on. "Where did you get that necklace?" M replied "It's my dad's". "Well that should have went to me. M, leave it to me IN YOUR WILL when you die". What a terrible thing to say. There were other incidents that have me with no respect for the lady at this point in my life. I feel bad about it, I really do but she should know right from wrong by now.
My mom hasn't seen a doctor in over 7 years at least. She has issues with her legs swelling, terrible heartburn and the idea of sending her on a plane to see this lady makes me nervous and scared. Plus seeing my uncle is so bittersweet. SO bittersweet. He resembles my dad and is the closest thing we will ever have to him ever again. Sigh. I just hope my mom can handle all of this.
