Into my mind you will find a place of rainbows, tornadoes, happiness and sadness, analogies and oxymorons. The mind is an enigma, and therefore, so am I

You know how they say if anything bad can happen, it will and all at the same time??? Well guess what? It hit me...
My dad died. Yeah, the man who donated sperm to make one half of me died and his funeral is Monday. PROBLEM!! I have school in a completely different state on Monday, and its almost final's week.....
Then, my grandmother, in her infinite wisdom, decided not to tell me because apparently she thinks I have the willpower of an eggshell.....I'm not that fragile grandma....you can tell me these things, like last time when you didn't tell me the house caught on fire...I'd rather you tell me than have me freak out about it later.....geez....
And now I have a slew of family members I didn't even know I had all talking to me now. I talked to my paternal grandfather for the SECOND time this lifetime (Oh yeah, got to meet him the first time graduating from HS.....), along with an uncle, and like 2 aunts.....yeah....I tell you about extended family.....
Let the circus begin.....

I'm sorry Eiko. I don't know if you had any kind of relationship with your dad, but I sympathize with the havoc that you're in now.Posted 11-29-2008 at 11:21 PM by GoldenGirl

*hugs* I'm so sorry about your father. I know that even though he was just a "sperm donor" you will have some grief, although perhaps not as extensive as you would have otherwise ... saw this with my oldest and it may sound tacky of me to say but in a way it was a blessing in disguise that they didn't know him well or their grief would have been SO much worse.
If you want to go and money is an issue (I know, college girl
) then consider Greyhound. Not the best transportation around, but it could get you there. If you decided that it would be detrimental for you to go, then by all means don't feel guilty - I doubt he would have wanted you to jeopardize your schooling, even if he wasn't around.
And believe me I understand the craziness that can surround a death in the family, I'm still trying to figure out how our grandmother thinks we killed our mother! Crazy woman!Posted 11-30-2008 at 08:43 AM by tigerlilly5
