Symbolized Bar Code Quick ID, Oh Yeah

I’ve spent the day trying to preoccupy myself. I found out last night that my Grandmother, one of few people on this Earth that I truly love, might not make it through the week. I’m not normally a crier, unless I’m watching a really heartfelt romantic comedy of course, but today I just couldn’t help myself.

I have probably seen her no more than a couple of handfuls of times since we moved from Manitoba when I was 8, but each one has been memorable. She always makes me feel special and loved… no matter what I may have done recently. When I was 19 I drove from Vernon to Niverville, MB 20 hours straight to see her (and my cousin Jer), stayed for about 18 hours, and then turned around and drove straight through to home.

I may have to face my one fear greater than death sometime in the next week – flying. I’m not looking forward to it, but I should be there for her.
