Family Life is getting hard

(update on last blog post)

Well, my grandpa's doing okay, he's got a huge bruise on his head and he's banged up but he should recover well at the assistant living home that we moved him into today. He's a bit depressed about leaving his house and his things... but he should be happier in the home with other people and company, along with physical therapy. (My grandma passed away a few years ago) but if he gets physically stronger, he can go back home.

Things got a little emotional when I asked him which picture frames he wanted to bring with to his room. He pointed to 2 pictures of my grandma and him and some tears fell.

Then when my grandpa was having a little trouble getting into the bathroom and stumbling a bit, I caught my mom crying in the other room. She's stressing herself out and trying to put on a happy face for him but it's like losing grandma all over again, except she didn't have to hide it last time. (Grandma had Alzheimer's) I gave her a hug and let it all out but otherwise she's keeping it all in as to not worry him much. I know it's taking a toll on her and that's hard..

I got a smile out of him today though. That's a big thing because he's been extremely depressed since grandma passed away, then being diagnoseon short notice was worth it ^_^ He barely smiles anymore and I'm glad that I was able to do that.

I should be driving back to college tomorrow and that's certainly going to because we have freezing rain here and it's supposed to snow tomorrow night.. gosh I want spring.. Well I'll update something, either my blog or upload a oneshot to let you guys know I got back okay :)

Sorry about the freaking novel of a blog but I thought I'd let you guys have a peak of my personal life and let you know why I had to leave for a few days.

I don't know if anyone reads this stuff but it helps me vent and let some build up thoughts out anyways..

Hope you all had a nice weekend! ♥

That's really great that you got a smile out of your grandfather, I never got to know any of mine because one passed away and the other doesn't claim me as his. ._.
It's tough to see a family member that's like that, but I hope your grandfather is doing well and will keep going.
I've recently lost my grandmother because her heart gave out on her and she's been in so much pain from falling and not taking good care of herself, I still to this day blame all of those doctors for not taking any care of her because the last time I visited her in the hospital, she looked so pale and skinny and I had to go to the bathroom to cry and let it all out, but in the end I made her laugh, and that was the first time I actually made her laugh that much, so I was really happy I could see her smile before seeing her lay there in the coffin, that was the hardest thing to see, but I'm trying to stay strong and know that she's in a better place.
I'm also in college so I know what kinda stress that puts on you too, thankfully I'm on my spring break this week, but I have 3 research papers to do. T_T -curls in ball and proceeds to cry-

Honey I'm so sorry, you sound like you just need a hug right now. Everything will get better, just remember that. I went through something similar 2 years ago except my dad was the one who died and my mom was having trouble. Bad. But everything got better. I'm praying for your family. And I'm praying for you.

That sounds really hard to do but I'm glad your grandpa smiled. I remember moving my grandma into an assisted living home after she got sick ... it's a very painful process. Hopefully as time goes on he will get more comfortable though.

Good luck with the freezing rain. Sounds kinda awful but fun at the same time? To be honest I dont know freezing rain very well so idk. Haha

Hope the drive home is safe!

Come back soon! I miss you here lol
I'm so glad your grandpa's going to be ok! I hope the assisted living home is good for him; he should help him having people to bond with at least. Whoo for making him smile!
You should do a BAP oneshot :D Or BIGBANG... or 2min, that always works lol
Drive safely! I better not get a text from you because you went into a ditch (again!)! Chu~
