ok hi
soo i havnt written in a while
in the past week my great-grandma past away
and i just didnt feel like writing really

but now i will write something else

my mom's family is the Typical Italian clann

my Grandparents are very close to all of their kids and they have 4
Uncle Carl- he's a Jesuit preist and has finally moved back to St. Louis
Uncle Gerry- Recently divorcee has two adorable kids Alyssa and Christian 3rd grade and 1 grade . His neew girlfriend Lynn is very sweet and super skinny, i just dont really like the whople idea of him dating in general. nothing against her. He used to be in a band that played at little night clubs ect. One more thing he is very impatient Especially with Driving. Ever heard of those comercials for those radar things on the front of your car that tells you if the poilice is approaching? hes got one.
My Mom -Helen- The only girl.
Uncle Kurt- uncle Kurt is the baby. Hes a insurance agent, verry successful. MY Anut Tiffany wastes no time using any extra cash they get however. SHe fixes up their house, and takes care of their two kids Fara and ANthony, Junior and 8th grader. Fara is one of my bestest friends in the world. we like to say thatwe'll always be friends because technically... were stuck together.

also at family functions is my Uncle John
He''s my great uncle but we leave out the great because really hes not so great (kidding)
He's a Collage professor, never married, and used to spend his time taking care of his mom, My great Grandmother. Now i guess he cant do that anymore...

My Great Grandmother was a typical italian woman
she cooked cleaned and lived alone after her husband died when i was like 3 or soo
SHe made the best meatballs. and when ever we went over there you can bet we had a meal of KFC chicken the most buttery buttered noddles in the world and left with a dollar in our pockets.
SHe we always an inspiration cause she never got her licence, never lived in a nursing home, never walked with a cane. the only thing was she had to use a hearing aid. Then the Melanomia struck
thats skin cancer
She had radiation and chemo that made her thin hair disappear completely
but after a year or so she didnt want to live with it anymore... so we put her in hospice carea and she died there about a week later.
she was 94?
the best time i remeber with her is dancing and singing with the waiters at her ninetieth birthday party.
SHe was the one singing and dancing and it was soo much fun.
i could have sworn she'd make it to 100...


it didnt help my mood the day she died that in biology someone finally explained what Hospice was.. Mrs. Bean. gee that made me feel greatttt....


Okee im done with the pitty party now
you get it

thanks for reading
