Goodnight Great-Nannie
April 8, 2005

Where should I start? Maybe from the middle of last month.

Everything was going fine. I was getting used to this 6AM feeding thing mommy did. It was all good. Then she decided to change it to 7AM. Well, if you know me a little, you will know that I like my food the sooner, the better. So I started getting used to that when all of the sudden, my aunt was taking care of me and my schedule changed again.

Mommy's grandfather had gotten sick and was in the hospital. This was only two weeks after we learned that her grandmother had gotten cancer* again. Mommy, daddy, nannie, and AJ drove up to see my great-grandfather and great-nannie. They left came back a few days later without nannie. That was a little confusing until someone explained that she was coming back later. AJ couldn't stop talking about the new cat at my grandparent's house, Mr. Sweetie. He had the best time trying to get Aunt Shelby to let him pet her. Apparently Aunt Shelby was more approachable while AJ was eating his chicken nuggets. So much so that she started to drool on his lap.

After a week or so, nannie returned and we went on a trip to visit daddy's parents (my grandparents), aunt Melissa, and aunt Nancy, uncle Rich, and the not-so-little-anymore, Hannah! I also finally met the handsome Mr. Sweetie. I could see why AJ kept going on about him. He's a gorgeous black and white kitty. The only way to describe him is to say he is the strong, silent type. At least he was while I was there. Maybe he was silenced by my beauty. Lets just go with that for now. We don't want to ruin my moment.

About a week after we returned home, we found out that mommy's grandmother was getting worse and her cancer couldn't be treated. Nannie took a flight a few hours later to be with her mom and three days later, this past Saturday, April 2nd, my great-nannie died. She lost her fight with cancer.

We drove up to the funeral this week and returned home last night. My food schedule is all off, but I am trying to be extra considerate. Mommy and daddy are still sad. I am still sad. I did manage to take some pictures and get some taken, but I think I will wait until maybe tomorrow to upload them. I am tired and need to meditate. Night Diary.
