Hey everyone, Todd here.
So today I heard some very bad news. I received a text message from my mom, saying I need to start seeing "Grandma more, a few times a week would be good". I didn't understand what it meant. So today after work I visited my grandmother, and pulled in front of the house to see an Oxygen truck delivering Oxygen. I didn't know what was going on so I stepped inside the house and saw the man delivering stuff. My grandma is having a very hard time breathing. When he left we were able to have a conversation and she told me that she went to her doctor today, and her cancer had gotten worse. I know she was at stage 3 lung cancer and had been doing so well but she told me that the chemotherapy was no longer working and that maybe they could start looking at hospice care. I was immediately blown away and I didn't know what to think. Which followed up with her telling me how she is going to start taking out her savings account splitting it between my two sisters, myself, and my mother. Along with things to expect in the next week. I don't know how to take this news, as I am still blown away, but I could always use some friends to just chat about life, and what not. She is only in her early 60s and this really blindsided me. you don't expect this kind of stuff until it just hits you in the face, and right now i am just in the shock of it all.
Anyway thank you for being my friends, my buddies, and etc. I could always use your support, and everything means alot.
