Thanksgiving?

Good evening--
 I hope that everyone has had a great holiday. My family had an eventful holiday. The day started well. My Stepfather was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for 3 days. It was scary. My stepfather never tells us if he feels bad or anything. He just works and sleeps. While he was at work he had a seizure-- it turns out it was from meds that had been taken but his stomach was swollen. When I arrived, he had tubes inserted in his nose and the machine was pumping outgas. I watched my mother stand by her husband -- she never left his side. It was bittersweet. He is ok now.

Next, there was a phone call from my aunt about my Grandmother in Philadelphia. My grandmother has been becoming forgetful. During the Thanksgiving process, she put vanilla scented hand sanitize in a cake that she was making bu mistake. SO my aunt asked that we come to see her and hopefully next year her " illness" doesn't progress.

Holiday use to be fun and joyous. It doesn't feel the same anymore. Through I enjoy memories, watching my grandparents get older, the progression of life hits me. Like damn, time waits for no one.
