Does anyone need some bricks?

She has been ill her full 5 years and no one is quite sure why. This past summer she also began having seizures. Lately they have progressed.

What don’t you talk about?

I was told last night that my Grandfather was ill. He doesn’t want to fight it. After making his wishes clear he slipped into coma.

It’s a waiting game now. We’re not sure if we’re looking at hours, days or even weeks but unfortunately the inevitable is coming.

Happy 33rd Birthday
