It has become a family tradition, it seems, for some kind of bad thing to happen to us. In the Christmas of '98, my granny (dad's mom) ran away from our home to go back to her home which was like 10 miles away, all the while during an ice storm that had knocked out all the power. Then in the Christmas of '99, I was going through a severe depression as I was unemployed. The Christmas of 2000 saw my granny have a psychotic attack and the realization that she could never live by herself again and thus later placed into a nursing home. Somehow, we have gotten through the Christmases of the last 2 years but not this year. One of my uncles - mom's brother - had a heart attack and passed away today. He was 63. I was going to go visit him with my mom this Saturday as I had not seen him in about 2 to 3 years. I spend a lot of time here, as many know, and even though this is a shock to me, I am doing okay, I guess. However, my mother, who I care about more than anything else in the world, is having a tough time. Any prayers for her as well as my aunt and her 2 kids plus my grandmother (mom's mom) who is in bad health herself would be greatly appreciated. Great way to spend Christmas, isn't it.
