Ups and downs of 2010


The first down of the year was my baby nephew dying on January 8th, he was just hours short of being 2 weeks old. Born with necrotising entrocolitous, a disease that rots the intestine from the inside out. and passed away from congestive heart failure. 6 days later my grandpa's mother passed away, although I never got the chance to meet her it was still sad because she is//was family and still sent toys when I was a young child. In march I turned 19 it wasn't really a big deal for me , I really don't care about my birthday. In may my great grandfathers's sister passed away. She was somewhere in her mid to late 80s and could barely walk. July was a bitter sweet month for me because I was so excited  I got to see my aunt , uncle, and cousins from Pennsylvania that I have not seen in about 5 years. We had a bunch of fun at my family reunion in Eastern Washington, but was soon saddened by the deaths of my great grandmother's sister who was elderly and had a stroke in the recent past, one of my distant cousin's husband who had a brain tumor, and my mother. I miss her very much, but I am trying to look on the bright side. A positive thing that came out of my all the passings in my family is that they have definitely made me a stronger person. I have no idea where I would be with out my moms shi-tsu bear. When ever I miss my mommy, or am just down in general, all I gotta do is hold him and he comforts me. Another positive is moving to Arizona. Timing was really bad because I got here a week before my mom passed but I think it was better for me because her memory wasn't right in my face, if you know what I mean. I believe that the best thing that ever happened to me in 2010 was becoming an auntie to my baby niece Alina on October 7th. She also had N.E.C. like her brother but they caught it early and was able to fix her. She turns 4 months old on February 7th and I can't wait to get home and see her. Just to hold her and be the bestest auntie ever. Christmas was really awkward for me just because I was in a new place with all the wrong family (my dad who pretty much treats me like I'm invisible 85% of the time and his girlfriend) in a place that I had never even been to on vacation. I got to see my dads parents which sadly didn't mean much to me because none of them were there when I was little so it was pretty much like spending Christmas in a foreign country with a bunch of people I didn't know. Well thanks for reading my first blog ever, sorry if it bored you and I hope you come back to read further posts :). Have a great day and don't forget to smile :D
