Tomorrow is my aunt Kim's funeral. Waah.
My poor mom. She lost her sister Karan over two years ago, very suddenly. She had a heart attack.
Kim died after being really sick for the past two years. She had a preemie baby (6 mo gestation) at age 42 in January '03 because the doctors realized her heart was bad. She had a hysterectomy after that, and then open-heart surgery. I went to Topeka in May to help her with the baby (she had to be fed by a gavage tube) and help around the house, keep her company, etc. She seemed to be getting a little better.
Then on the fourth of July in 03, she got hit by a motherfucking speeding car. She saved her grandson, Eric, by getting him out of the way, but she got hit. It collapsed her lungs.
She fought and fought, but finally, last Tuesday, she died. Her ENTIRE family (which consists of 14 nieces and nephews) was at the hospital for a week. As soon as she passed, we all went up to the hospital again to say goodbye.
Now it's just my mom and my uncle Boo left. I feel so sad for them.
Sorry for the sad update, there, folks...back to my happy demeanor in .5.
On a different note, I get to call my boss here in a minute and get my work schedule for the week. w00t! I haven't been able to work in 3 weeks. Hooray!!! I was so bored.
