It's just not our month

So we left for California and Grandma's funeral. It was pretty difficult for me and Stinky. Basically there was a lot of drama that we missed. Lucky for me as a grandchild. Mom was worn down from it all. She's been a rock for the family. We saw the family and some members we haven't seen in years. Youngest aunt looked really bad. I mean really bad. Her liver was failing. She looked like a cast member of the Simpsons. So the flight to and from wasn't bad. It was when we got home, more bad news came.

Youngest aunt was hospitalized the next day. She was really bad. Her kidneys failed the following day and she passed away late Sat night. It was a bad weekend for us. I'm not sure how the family will be in the future. My aunt was only 47. Her breast cancer was in remission, but then the cancer decided to attack her liver. She left 3 girls and a husband that has been with her longer than without.

Last week was a hard week for Stinky too. Fred was picking on him in school,and Eldest had decided he didn't have principles and wanted to play with Fred again. Poor Stinky was so hurt. It didn't help that Stinky has let his school work slide. He was put on restriction and has to learn to get back into the routine. The lazy easy habits he was getting over on me didn't get him very far.
