Author’s Note

April 9, 2017

Hey guys,

I don’t have an chapter update tonight but I just wanted to talk. 

My grandma died today. She’d been in a comatose state for about two months and this afternoon we got the call that she passed. 

The only problem is that she lives in Albania and I haven’t seen her in over 11 years. The only contact we had was through skype, and now I don’t even have that.

My parents flew out tonight to go be with the rest of the family but I couldn’t go. To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement. I have so many regrets in regards to not making more of an effort to see her. My cousins from Greece and I were planning on seeing her for her 80th birthday next year and that would’ve been the first time she would’ve seen her grandkids together and it would’ve meant to world to her.

I’m the oldest child so I’m left behind to be strong and hold down the fort. I get it, they always count on me, but I have to keep everything bottled up until I get a moment alone. 

I guess that’s why I wanted to get on here and just let it out for a little bit. Thanks for listening. <3

  1. So sorry to hear about your loss. Family is so important, and as much as we hope to spend every important memory together, sometimes life just doesn’t let that happen. Just know that she knew you loved her dearly, even if you were not able to be in contact as often as you would have liked. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    1. Thanks love. We’re just trying to find comfort in the fact that she’s not suffering anymore. It’s hard living an ocean away. /:

  2. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma! I can only imagine how heartbroken you are. My grandma lives in Faial (Portugal) and I live in California. It’s been 15 years since I’ve seen her and I hope I see her again. I know we obviously don’t know each other but if you need to talk you can email me.

    1. Thank you so much. <3 I just feel so bad for my dad. It's his mom and I can't imagine not being with my mom in her final moments you know? Death is just so final. It's weird to think your never going to see that person again.
