So I woke up today with my dad telling me that my grandmother died.
Honestly, It's hard for me to react to it. She had a stroke with I was 11 or 12 which progressed into alzheimer's; leading to my dad's scumbag brother taking her up to vermont so they could be her closest companions in order to get as much money out of the will as possible.
There was no warning for this though. I mean there should have been someone who told us that her status progressed this bad. My dad and my uncle haven't spoke since they took her up though.
So really I've had trouble knowing my grandmother. Everyone else in my family had a lot more experiences with her than I did. What I remember most about her is that she would always tell me that I was gaining weight...and she would joke that I was a "simpleton" when I would laugh when she would boss around my dad.
I called up my oldest sister at work and she's taking it 1000x worse than I am.
Honestly, because I don't have much of a connection with her I'm not really hurt by this right now. I don't know though more memories might come back with time. I think my main role has to be support for my dad right now. No matter who you are, it's never nice to find out your mother just died.

Just got out of work now. The Theresa (my grandmother) situation is racking the brain not as much now. So, I must mention fun things that have happened.
SOMEONE CRASHED INTO MY DITCH?!? The entrance of my driveway is lined on each side by a 3 foot drainage ditch. Some rich moronic neighbor of mine crashed her convertable in it! My guess is that she must have been intoxicated because of the way she crashed it and how she expected her 105 pound "Fellow Trophy Wife" friend to be able to push her 1 1/2 ton car out of the 3 foot ditch. She quickly fled the scene so that her older husband and friend could deal with the situation.
How the fuck do you hit a ditch that's on the opposite side of the road like this?!?!??????!!!!
Forgive the blurryness, I was laughing hysterically as I was taking the picture.
Here's one of the poor husband + friend examining the situation.
I would have gotten better shots but I tried to contain my rubberneck. The front end and axle were clearly destroyed in the accident though. What a way to meet your neighbors!
Today at work had a rather funny situation. A foriegn family ordered drinks and as their attractive daughter (that was close to my age) waited for them nearby, I struck up a conversation of where they were from and why they were here. During this her father decides to get up in the middle of our conversation, pulls her aside to speak quietly but firmly to her in German. The end result is her walking away and her father taking her place. THE BASTARD COCK-BLOCKED ME!?!?! AHAHAHAHAHAH! And it's not like I was asking what color her panties were, I was just asking why she was in the U.S.! I love instigating and exposing insecurities in my customers!
