Life is Still Amazing!
I last posted about my dog's condition, about thinking that he may have had cancer, and stuff like that. Well, as I said, doesn't have cancer. What he does have, is a bad kidney. So, now we have to give him all these pills that we have to stuff down his throat(which is disgusting!) and also give him fluids through IVs. On top of all that, this weekend, well on Friday, my grandfather died. I am having a hard time just sort of keeping my head above the water sometimes, but I know that I'll make it through. Life, even now when it seems so down and blue, is amazing. Maybe life is more amazing when things don't look so good. I don't know!! To all my friends out there who help get me through the day, I thank you. To all the people out there who may or may not ever read this, but know what it is I am going through from experience, I send my warmth and condolences, and to all who keep trekking after a sad time in your life, all I can say is: good for you, I know that is difficult.

Hi Lizzie! I'm doing great--just tired. I'm really looking forward to spring break!! I'm going to chicago!! How are things going with the band--are you trying out for drum major? Talk to you later!
Dear Lizzie, The older Alyssa here. I'm so sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. Grandparents hold a very special place in our lives and we will never forget them. Of course you'll make it through - it isn't easy and you'll feel really bad some times. Talk to your family about what you are feeling or even your sick dog. It helps to say things out loud. Little by little the painful feelings will fade into a little corner of your mind and will be over-shadowed by all the wonderful memories you have of your grandfather. He will live inside of you and everyone who knew and loved him. And yes, life is amazing during bad times too. You'll notice and feel things that have never surfaced before and you will learn from them. Just go slow and take care of your self - life will get better. Alyssa
<3!
