i really haven’t had anything to blog about, but i did want to write so people know yes i am still alive. i am trying to do my best to get though december. its obviously not a great time for me and my family. this month will mark one year since dad passed away, my grandfather is probably not far from passing away, and various other family issues are cropping up. how do you cope?? i’m not sure what i’m supposed to do in situations like this. it seems like everything is going wrong at every turn and i feel completely lost.

we haven’t even put up the giftmas tree.
