I'm not really going anywhere, but I'v had some seriously devastating bad news today. Basically my Aunt who is tough as nails and has survived more than I count, developed cancer for the 2nd time last summer (after being in remission for 8 years from her first bought). The doctors gave her 6 months to live, and she refused to give up. She started fighting with everything she had and miraculously kept going. Her screenings were starting to improve and she was winning out. They started to say and feel confident that she would beat this. Well I don't know what happened but something changed. She's been in and out of the hospital repeatedly over the last 1-2 months with collapsed lungs, and finally came home last week. Last night she ended up back in the hospital again. Well they've stopped all treatments and have moved her to a hospice care center. Basically, she's giving up. She sick and tired, and can't fight anymore. This just about kills me because she has been one of the closest people to me in my family since I was a little girl. She's my role model because she has overcome so much grief and difficulty in her life and yet now I'm going to lose her. The doctors are now saying she has less than 6 months to live. So I'm not going anywhere per say, but I'm giving you a heads up that I might not be on as much in the coming months. And for the next week I'll be really scarce. I just need time to accept that this is it even though I don't want to. See you guys around. -Pinki

Hey Pinki, as someone who has lost a family member, my condolences go out to you. I'll be thinking of you and I wish you the best. No pressure. Just get through this and support your family. That's more important than anything.
Love, Jin

Thanks Jin, I appreciate it. My whole family is devastated by it. She has 3 daughters, the youngest is just in shock, the oldest and trying to make everything better get all the details sorted out so that nothing is overlooked, and then theres the middle child who seems to be in denial. She thinks my aunt is just faking it, or that were trying to kill her just to get her out of the way. She's never been the most rational or down to earth person, but ever since she found out, she has been acting out violently and screaming at anyone she can. Threatening her own family and saying her oldest sister is going to screw up the youngest when she gets custody. It's just crazy over at my house right now. And to top it all off, we found out yesterday the the tumor in her brain is making her delirious and the doctors don't think she'll last much longer. Days or weeks instead of months like their original diagnosis. I spent majority of yesterday laying curled in a ball crying and praying for everything to be alright. But I guess we'll know soon either way... Thank you guys for understanding and wishing me luck. I'll be back as soon as I can, promise. -Pinki
