So I was reminded that one of my relatives has been living with cancer for the past four years. I had completely forgotten for two reasons:

A) It was four years ago. While this is something that's kinda hard to forget about, I have a pretty shit memory. and it likes directly to reason B;

B) I don't see a lot of my extended family due to my work schedule. Hell, I don't see a lot of the family I live with due to my schedule. If I could of been able to see folks on a more regular basis, I'd feel more in the loop about stuff like this.

Well i just learned that she went back and forth between home and the hospital at the beginning of the week. And right now, she's still there. Waiting to be transported to a hospice.

~sighs~ I know of several people right now who are having worse days than, but this is bad for me. Its another relative that I liked. One that I probably don't wanna see in her condition, which apparently is pretty bad....

this is why I hate being out of the loop. And why I'm kinda glad not to be in it at the same time.

Bother.
