my grandparents came into town today. amazing how happy two people can make me. my grandma (Mama) and I are, literally, the same person, and best friends. she is my hero and I adore her. she's been in remission from breast cancer for three years now, and she's also helped her sister, my great-aunt "Granny," get through her own breast cancer. my family is from the beautiful state of West Virginia. nothing makes me happier than visiting my grandparents in an itty bitty town called Eskdale. we're visiting for Christmas, like we always do. in case you didn't notice, I just recently learned how to upload pictures into my blog. I apologize for the randomness.
so my mother and I haven't spoken since Halloween. I'm starting to get used to her not being in my life...but sometimes, it's incredibly difficult. she and I are very similar, so I know it's the same for her. the things that happened don't need to be gotten into right at this moment - suffice it to say she hurt me very deeply on a subject that she knows is very sensitive for me and for our relationship, which was the last straw on a HUGE amount of things that she's done/said to hurt our family. just so everyone is clear, her and my father's divorce was just recently finalized - within the past month. she wanted to come over for Thanksgiving, but I said no. I can't handle the kind of drama and hurt that she brings to this family.
alright. I'm going to bed - finally. remember, go buy a pom!!
