Had a lovely mothers day weekend with my Mom.

Saturday we got together to visit Grandmas grave for the first time. It was nice that we could all get together to visit her.

After our visit we hung out at grandpas for a bit and then I took my Mom and Dad to the city to my apt for Mothers Day dinner.

I took my parents to Chelsea market. It was really cute to bring them out because my Mom was so impatient just like a little kid when we were waiting for our lobster to be steamed. Afterwards we walked home and got home just in time because Adis was chilling with B when we walked in.

I made a nice simple pasta dish and we each had our own lobster. Such a great time and so happy to be able to do something nice as a family for Mom.

I tried to convince my Dad not to come but after talking to Uncle I realized that grandpa was going to jersey and he would have been left home alone which would have been very depressing for him so I decided to take him. Im really glad that he came because it was good for him to finally meet B knowing that he is my partner and also to see our Apt.

It has been a long time since my last post. Alot has been going on with the family. My grandma passed away today and it has been the first death in my immediate family that I have had to deal with.

Grandma has been struggling holding on to her last thread of life for years now and finally she has let go peacefully. As sad as it is this has been the biggest relief for my family to finally get to move on and deal with her leaving us.

A few days ago I took the day off and spent the day with grandma. All of us were there spending time with her. We all said our goodbyes and played videos and just spent time with her as a family.

Now that she has left us we can look back on who she was as a healthy wife, mother and grandmother.

We looked back at all of the things she used to do for us that made her Grandma.

I have to begin working on a small speech that I am going to present at the funeral/wake. I think the one thing that I am going to talk about is how strong of a woman grandma was. Through her arthritis in her legs and her hard work making dollars a day working in the sweatshop in factories she was always working hard and I have always admired her for that.

I feel completely horrible for my grandpa. He was finally able to say goodbye to his lifelong partner. Over 60+ years of marriage to one woman- amazing!

So this weekend I spent the day with Adis at Uncle Alvin’s house. Asia has been house sitting and watching rocky.

Adis had this great idea to paint the kitchen for Aunt Cindy as a gift from both of us. We painted the ceiling and top parts of the walls and left a 7 inch border of white on the walls. The bottom half were going to paint lavender.

Even though it sounded like this huge chore it ended up being alot of fun. Adis an I talked alot and we also spoke to Aunt Amy for a bit about the whole house situation.

Now I’m back on the train to the city to spend Sunday with Furry.

He’s leaving to go to SXSW next thursday so this is like the last weekend day with him until he gets back.
