It's gonna be a great giorno!
Yesterday was totally awful. And as a result of it being so bad, I have to vent a little bit.
on April 3rd my 2nd cousin who was 8 months old had a heart attack because of some rare disorder or condition(Which I found out I carry this genetic disorder in me, which causes heart attack). He was rushed to the hospital and they were able to bring him back and put him on life support, but he was too gone. He kept having little heartattacks all night. In fact they ended up using the paddles so much on him, that his little chest was burned from it. The parents ended up making the tough decision of taking him off of life support, and he ended up dying shortly after. So yesterday I had a funeral to go to (I couldnt go to the wake, because it was an open casket, and that I just couldnt of done). That was a very tiny casket. Smallest I've ever seen. It was a huge church filled with tears. All the guys were crying too. I didnt cry, but I felt like I was close to doing so. Was a very emotional day yesterday. Still kind of torn up and sick by it. I couldnt imagine losing a child that was 8 months old. I have had a girlfriend who has had a miscarriage before and that was painful for the both of us. I couldnt imagine having an 8 month old baby, after holding it, caring for it, and loving it and THEN to lose it. I just couldnt imagine the pain.
Anyways I had to get all that out. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
I have more to add to the awfulness. Let's start with:
My girlfriend's best friend as a kid lived across the street from her parents house. I met him a few times, and his family a few times. On Thursday of last week, his father died from cancer. He was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. He was given 6 months to live. It was liver cancer. He didn't even drink heavily. Anyways, he went in for a check-up after being given 6 months... and was told that it had already spread to his intestines. He died very shortly after. Yes, it is wonderful he did not suffer with cancer for very long. But was also very upsetting that he went so fast. Because it was so fast, no one outside of his immediate family even knew that he was sick. So I had that funeral to attend over the weekend.
And THEN...
My girlfriend's other childhood friend, also on Thursday was driving to go pick up his kids in another state. He picks up the kids and is on his way back, when (The details are still a little shaky) he fell asleep at the wheel (They know he was NOT drunk). His car swerved off of the highway, thru a guardrail, and down a ravine. He was knocked unconscious. Apparently the cops were called, and this cop comes and NEVER got out of his car to try to find this car. He just drove by and said, oh there must of been no accident. Even though you could CLEARLY see paint and a hole in the guardrail. So he left. Roughly about 3 hours Jim was holding his 4 year old who was bleeding pretty bad, and called for help. It took the cops another hour or 2 to arrive at the scene. By the time he did, both his 4 year old and 6 year old were dead. Now he has that hanging over his head for the rest of his life. We were supposed to go to the wake/funeral on Sunday and Monday, but I'll be honest, my girlfriend and I just couldn't do it. We were just at a funeral for the 8 month old baby last week. I couldnt do another kid's funeral. I could not see another coffin that small, and definitely not 2 of them. So anyways, yeah this was supposed to be my getaway weekend with my girl, and we were supposed to enjoy it with family and friends.
