posticon My Grandmother Died :(


Last Saturday, right before I was going on a date with my boyfriend, my mom and I got the news that my grandmother passed away. She was 84.

Edith Williams was a store manager for most of her life and the mother of two children, my uncle (who's a benedictine monk living in Alabama) and my mom. My grandfather died in 1985 before I was even born, but I knew my grandmother well. She was always kind to me and we had a close bond right up until her death.

Edith Williams
August 1, 1925 - October 3, 2009

R.I.P.

That's what she looked like at my age...

I am so sorry about your grandmother Dorotea. That is really sad. She looks amazing in that photo! She was really beautiful! 84 is a really good age and it sounds like she had a really good life. I am really sorry, and I hope you're going to be ok. xxxxxxx

Thanks. The funeral is tomorrow and it's definitely going to be hard, partially because of saying goodbye and also because I have to deal with my family, who I'm not very close to.

The funeral was nice and I didn't mind it much. The whole time I was there I couldn't help but notice that I was the youngest person there. Everyone else in my family is much older and they're dying off. It's kind of...stressful.

Most of my cousins are at least in their late 40s, and I'm 21. That's the problem - there's not really anyone in my family I feel close to.

The "only child" part is complicated. I have a half-sister that I haven't seen in ten years because my mom won't acknowledge her as part of our family. It's a big mess that's kind of bad to delve into. Both sides of my family are shady, so I don't feel comfortable around either side.

I hope so...but I'm just not a family person. When my mom was growing up she had family around her all the time and she was the baby, so they spoiled her rotten. With me, my dad was a pedo/asshole with a mental disorder and everyone in his family was fucked up, and my mom's family had dissolved its closeness years before.

Sigh...
