Today has not been the best of days. Firstly, I have achieved next to nothing. I set out with all of these goals and expectations and for some reason one thing or another has gotten in the way of everything I planned. Secondly, I found out my Grandma went into hospital today. Never a good thing and I didn’t find out until after visiting hours so that means I can’t go see her until tomorrow. I have never really had someone close to me die, although my Granddad is already dead I was only 3 and I don’t remember it very well. I am not saying my Grandma is going to die but it certainly makes you wish you had more time with those you love, and makes you realise you should make the most of life now.
Of course, now I wish I could visit respective grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins every weekend but there just never seems to be the time. Especially as if we also visited all my girlfriends’ family in the city we would take years to get round them all. That is still no excuse though. Grandma mentioned how great it was I/we sent her a Christmas card, and I realise it is the little things that count. Perhaps some flowers will be in order for tomorrow. I know Grandma would love flowers but unfortunately not enough to know which flowers. However, it’s tricky perhaps I might just send her a big balloon with a smiley face on as she will probably get heaps of flowers. And the smiley face balloon had the desired effect on one of my friends recently.
