Bad News

There was a death in my family. My cousin Mark died. I was not close to him, and have only seen him once in the past ten years. So I am sad, but it’s not really effecting me very much. Things are very different in Washington though. My uncle Tim, Michelle and Mark’s brother Jeremy are taking it very hard. My mom is helping out as much as she can. Making all the arraignments has been complicated. My mom is also having her mom stay at our house, and is helping the other out of town relatives. It’s going to be a very sad and hectic Thanksgiving. I do wish that I was at home to help out, I am pretty good daughter in situations like this, Rhea and I are good about helping our mom out. But part of me is glad to be missing all the chaos and sadness, which is normal, though I feel a little guilty. I hope everyone is going to be alright.
