So, I was woken this morning to my phone getting blown up by my mom. (Don't you hate when you're like super comfortable and your mother calls you a bunch and it wakes you up?) I finally answered it and she was in a state of panic.
Most of you don't know the troubles my grandfather has been in over the past couple years but it hasn't been a fun trip. About a year and a half ago he had 3 strokes in the span of about a week and they didn't think he'd make it over the course of a weekend. We all said our "goodbyes" so to speak, myself included, and he ended up pulling through. Last summer/fall he had some more issues and they didn't think he'd make it, again he did.
Well my phone call this morning was to inform me that he wasn't looking too well and a doctor went a made a house call as he got worse. They don't believe he will make it through the day.
Now, I'm going to be going to see him after a bit and I don't know how that will impact the show. I know this makes me a horrible person but I don't plan on being around too long. It really tore me up after his stokes a year and a half ago and I literally said goodbye to him. I had come to peace with him passing and he lived another year and a half.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the status of things and that I'll be back around later today. It might come down to getting some help with the show or making it a quick results show if I'm there super late, which I hope it doesn't come to.
