life
This has been a very hectic, sad, tragic, hard week for me, and for others. Last week , my grandma suffered a slight beginning heart attack. She had a short stay in the hospital, but I'm happy to say she is doing well and back at home.
I saw Tommy Friday, I spent some time fussing at him, like others have, to beg him to try to stay clean for the sake of his kids. Unfortunately, the following day Dwane called me from work to tell me he had been found dead, supposedly of an overdose. There's speculation & rumors floating already about why/how he died. I feel guilt for arguing at him about his problem, maybe there was more I should have said, should have done. What could I had done? My sister is blaming herself, she thinks her actions caused it, that maybe he was trying to die, nobody really wants to think that though, nobody knows how to even tell his beautiful children. How do you tell them that? How do you look a child in the face and tell them that their father is gone, dead, never to return. 29 years old, and gone...just like that. It's not fair! It's not fair the pain our hearts endure when we loss someone. It's made me wonder, what does happen when we die, where do we go, is he at peace? I hope so, the thought he'd continue to suffer is more than I can think. Its still so surreal to everyone, it has not sank in. I can barely stand to see the pain of my sister, struggling to deal with it, trying to stay strong in the face of others, the kids. I have to find a sitter for Kayden for the funeral, find some clothes for us to wear, something for my sister. We've invited her to live with us, so she can try to get her life straightened out too. They still haven't released him, so we don't know when the funeral will be, only where.
