mishou

so.. my sister od'd on oxycontin and spent two days in a coma this week. originally they weren't sure if she was going to make it and if she did, they thought she'd be a vegatable the rest of her life. all i have to say is there's nothing quite as painful as hearing your parent cry hopelessly on the phone as they watch your sibling hooked up to every machine imaginable fighting to stay alive knowing that they did this to themselves. i just kept trying to calm my mother down and tell her that she was a good mother and that she never did anything to cause this. miraculously my sister made it out of her coma and they don't think she'll have any permanent brain damage. proving once again that my mom is a rockstar, before my sister was even out of the hospital she'd contacted my uncle who's a drug and alcohol counsler and they'd found my sister a bed in a treatment center. so my mother is taking a month off work without pay so she can be close to my sister while she gets the help she needs.

then i got a call from my mother last night telling me the only grandparent i've ever really known had died. he was 90 and had been ill the past year so we knew it was coming. still doesn't lessen the blow however. the world lost an awesome human being and i lost someone i loved very much.

anyway i hear there's a light at the end of this tunnel... i just hope it isn't a mother fucking train.
