Flyby Post
I doubt that anyone actually waiting for a reply on comments from me is actually reading this post, but, if they are, I'll get to them soon. Tomorrow at the very latest.
I hope people on my flist had a nice weekend, I know for a lot of us it was a long weekend.
For me, while there was laughs and chocolate, it was also really stressful and draining.
About a year ago, I came back home, just in time to watch my grandfather die. We've been handling it rather well, but this is going to be a really hard week. Especially for my grandmother. She's been having a lot of trouble coping with being alone. And living alone for the first time in over 50 years. My grandparents had been together for 55 years when my grandfather died. When I left her house yesterday, my sister was with her as she sobbed.
I'm not really going to get into this, I don't really think I can. I miss him, he was really a centre to our family. I'm stressed, and I really don't want to talk to anyone right now. I wish that I had never made that post over a week ago, and that no one linked to it. But I did make it, and people have been reading and responding to it, so I *will* respond, just... when I'm feeling a little less broken.
Also, how do you respond to a comment like this?
::sigh::
Sorry. I just don't have the energy.
Today, you have made the world a sadder place for me.

I... have no idea what to say to that. At all.

And yeah, fandom, it's special. When I was in the QaF fandom, I actually got really involved in it, and loved it to pieces. I think I love SGA as a show more, and the fic is about 10000X better, but the QaF *Fandom*. I keep wanting to go back into that being apart of things again, but when I try I seem to get burned. Granted I think pretty much anyone who opens their mouth on this matter is getting burned. The lurker side of me is calling though.
I guess all any of you can do is be there for your Grandmother
Yeah, we're lucky that two of my uncles and their family live in the same town, so she always has family *right*there*. And two of her daughters (my mom included) live about an hour and a half away, with another aunt willing to make the farther trip. We're pretty close knit, which has really been helping her.
