I so desperately need a meeting today, and unfortunately between work and daycare it's not possible. My grandparents just came for a visit and my grandfather who i adore has stage 4 prostate cancer. He is and always has been a huge part of my life, and I don't want him to see inevitable decline. He is 87 years old, and has been a iron bull his whole life. It's so sad to see him slowed down. He is a WWII vet, retired NYPD seargent, etc. I have so much emotion wrapped up in this man that I am going to be a wreck when the day comes. May not be today, may not be this year, but the odds are 2-3 years between his age and the stage of his cancer. I think I'm going to leave one of my work meetings early or at least take it on the road so I can share in a meeting. I need support today. Sometimes it's not as easy as turning it over. We are all highly complex individuals with feelings.

I'm sorry about your news. It sucks. But, it's not a reason to drink. In fact, it's a reason to be sober. And to be thankful that you have a special grandfather in your life. Hope you get your meeting, and congrats on 9 months!
