Current mood: enthralled

Members of my family always die around this time of year.

My grandmother died on Thanksgiving.

My Uncle Shielston passed away a couple of weeks ago. My family is still recovering from the lost of my aunts. My uncle was very young and a beautiful person. He sent his son to the cleaners and by the time his son returned and he was deceased. We are all devastated. I feel like a professional mourner.

So my father took my mother on a small vacation to clear her mind. Disneyland. I had Thanksgiving at my apartment with my friends, my bro & sis. I joked with my parents (brat that I am) that I was rounding up other people who had been abandoned by their families.

It was such a beautiful day and a reminder that as we get older, our friends truly do become our family.
