Why Now???

I’m working on Miss Nelson Has A Field Day right now. It’s a lot of fun, it’s also a lot of work. The show opens Saturday, but today we had two preview performances and we have two more tomorrow. The kids seemed to really like it.

Anyway, I have a lot going on right now, and when bad things happen when you have a lot going on it seems to make the matter seem worse. Well, I got some really bad news last night after I left work. My grandma has been in the hospital for over a month cause she fell and broke her hip. She also fell last year and broke the other side of her hip. Well, she was in the hospital and got an infection. A really bad infection from a needle. Well, next thing we knew she was in the ICU. She was there for a few weeks. Well last night my dad gave me the news I did not want to hear, she died. I just started crying. I was really hoping she would get through the infection. I went to visit her when I could and I was telling her what I was doing with the play. I told her when she got out of the hospital she needed to come see my plays. I think all but the 1st time I was there she had her eyes closed. This just doesn’t seem fair to me. I lost both my grandmothers within two months of eachother. I called my mom as soon as my dad told me. I really wanted to be with her but it was already almost 1 in the morning and I had to be at work this morning really early. Now my mom has no parents. I don’t know what I’d do without mine.

I’m at home now cause I got done work early, so I’m going to do some paperwork for the show and then spend a little bit of time with my mom before I have to head back to my apt. The funeral is going to be in Philidelphia since that is where they have a spot for her from when my grandpa died. So I’ll be heading up there after my show on Sunday. This wasn’t the way I planned on leaving the state this year.

Now I have only one grandparent and so I’m going to call him whenever I can.

Love,
