Funeral.

This month has been so crappy so far. Other than my mom & sister not being home for 3 weeks because of a funeral, I also have to go to a funeral myself. I didnt know my uncle died of cancer until last night. I’ve been juggling the 2 jobs I have that nobody has even bothered to tell me. He was diagnosed of cancer a few months ago and I didnt think he would die. I had an aunt who had breast cancer and she survived. Unfortunately, he didnt. I thought he would survive just like her unfortunately he didnt. Now I had to skip one of my jobs today and tomorrow to attend the funeral. It’s funny how life takes a turn like that. My mom had to leave the country for a family funeral and little did I know, I would be going to one a few weeks later. I havent been to a funeral in so long. I remember when I was still in highschool where I would constantly attend a funeral every year. It was like a yearly routine. Then it stopped for a few weeks and now I’m back to the funeral home again. He was only around 40 years old. That’s pretty young…

3 weeks is a long time..

Very rarely do I ever blog about my family in here since it’s kinda personal and I don’t want the interweb to know about that kinda stuff but this time I think it’s going to be different. I was ready to sleep since I have to wake up early tomorrow when my mom called me in my cell phone (she works night shifts) and informed that she’s going to our home country. Her brother died there so she has to attend the funeral. She didnt attend her mom’s death a few years ago since we didnt have any money and I think this time it’s about time she go there. She said she’ll be gone this Friday for 3 weeks!!!!! :eek: That shocked me. I didnt think she’d be gone that long. She’s never been away from us this far (another country) let alone this long (3 weeks). I’m depressed already since she’s going to be taking away my sister who’s almost 5 years old. She invited me to come along with her but I just started this new job today and being away in 3 weeks does not look good on my part. I’ll definitely miss my sister since she makes me smile when I’m done. I love our fun times when I would purposely tickle her until she begged me to stop. The 3 weeks that they wont be here will make the house smaller.. No one will be cooking for dinner/lunch anymore. I cant cook so I guess I’ll have to start to cook simple stuff which I’ll eventually get sick over. This is so going to suck. They leave this Friday and I leave for work at 7 am so I hope I’ll have the time to say good bye and give my sister a long and lasting hug and kiss. I’ll definitely miss her tantrums and the fact that she’s now taken a liking to Sailor Moon (I got her all hooked up lol). When my mom and I discussed going back to our country, we’ve always wanted to go together… But not this time. The timing is just not right. I told her to bring my camera so she can take lots of pics sans funeral, of course. I’ll be so down tomorrow it’s ridiculous. Ah this really sucks..
