Someone Else's Life

Have you ever felt like your life is just on cruise control and no matter how hard you try to step on the gas, or change your course you just can’t seem to alter your reality. That is how I feel. There is just so much going on in my life it just seems like I am looking in at someone else’s life because I can’t seem to do anything about it.

As I wrote earlier, my uncle is now living with my parents and I guess he is looking for a new job, so he can start to work a good 40 hrs a week. His current job is not giving him 40hrs every week and that causes him to have financial issues. Not being able to pay his bills, thus him living with my folks.

My parents are still cold to each other because the tension is still there. My uncle makes my parents feel uncomfortable in their own home. They try not to even be home when he is there. It is just not fair for my parents to live their lives in avoidance of my uncle. My family from Boston has already given him the riot act about being a leach, but I don’t think it made a difference.

I spoke to my aunt who lives in Boston and she said she went to the doctor the other day. She had him look a lump on her left breast and after a good check they found 2 lumps on her right breast as well. She is going for a biopsy on Friday and then has to wait all weekend for her results. I feel so bad because she has to go through all this pressure and unknowing without her family. Her sister, my mom, and her brother, my loser uncle, live in GA. I am sure at a time like this she would really like them near by.

My grandmother and her 3 sisters died of cancer, so I know those statistics are weighing heavy on my aunt's mind. I can only wish her luck and pray that everything works out fine. I guess we just have to sit and wait for 2 weeks to find out.

Peace,
