The people I Love

My best friend who I have known for 13 years now recently lost a loved one. Just days after our car accident her father-in-law had a bad fall. He went to the hospital on Sunday, his beloved dog died the day after on Monday, and he died on Tuesday never knowing that his dog had passed on. I guess little Pandora knew that her pet human would never be coming home. They were inseparable those 2, even in death. His absence makes the house feel so empty. He loved to argue with anyone that would give him just a moment to get started. Every time I called he would always yell "that lady is on the phone" knowing full well that I hated being "that lady". He did love to get a rise out of people, because he could.

A week later, this Tuesday my boyfriend called me to tell me that his Grandfather was in the hospital, dying. I really like his Grandpa, he was a very nice man. I didn't know him too well, but he always came over to watch the important boxing matches. He must have been a really special man to win the heart of the nicest woman I have ever met. I am so worried about his Grandma now, the lady has never paid her own bills before, they were married for 50 some odd years. She is so nice the world will be a little less bright without her. I do not want these people I love to feel so much pain. I wanted him to make it, just because he needed to damn it! They need him! He didn't make it though. He passed away, into the night on Wednesday in the wee hours of the morning.

The next day my boyfriend went over to feed his dog, Kaya. He has had this dog since he was 14, but she can't be at his new place with him. So she stays at his moms, and he visits her. He brought her treats and wanted to play with her to cheer himself up. She had passed away Wednesday morning too. Before he came, when his Grandpa was dying. He went over to play with his childhood friend, only to find that she had died.

It hurts me that those so close to me are in such pain. I love them so much. My heart aches for them.
