Good byes and good byes.
RIP Aunt Ginger. She passed around 5am this morning. Kind of ironic because her birthday was the 23rd. I also thought she visited me around 6 as I woke up for no reason. I'm glad she didn't suffer too long as being hooked up to machines and being paralyzed is no way to live. Her heart was always in the right place and I know she will be missed.

Nearly March.
It's only been a 2 weeks or so since I last wrote one of these but it feels so much longer. To make a long story short, I'm pretty emotionally beat. My aunt suffered another stroke last week and I went to see her. Now, they don't tell you exactly how difficult that is. Well, let me tell you that it is. When I saw her after her first stroke (which should have been a sign), she was okay. It is always hard to see someone you actually care about suffering. In movies, television, even friends it's not the same. She could at least still talk and had a lot of spunk left for someone in a hospital gown.
So, after this second one, ugh. It's not like you don't want to be there but you have to be strong for them. This time around, my aunt is completely paralyzed on her right side and partially so on her left. She can't talk and/or swallow and has plaque on her brain stem. I'm not even sure what the fuck that is. However, I don't think it should be there inside of my aunt. The decision has been made to take her into hospice care. Now that she can't really communicate, it's not fair to keep her going as a vegetable. The fine folks at U of IC medical center have already saved her a few times.
The extended family has been a bit hesitant to get their feet moving (*cough cough* Uncle W and cousin D). I am just hoping that she can get to see them again and say whatever wants to say to them. That's probably the thing that's on my mind the most now. There is more but I'll have to write about that later.

Good morning 2012
Writing? Maybe not so much. I feel like doing. Some crackpot hit my car yesterday evening too. So i had to silicon a side mirror on today. Now, my car wasnt worth that much before and this isnt helping.
