"Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt

Exactly what the title says. In the past two weeks:
1. My mother got appendicitis and had to go to the hospital for surgery. She's okay now, thank heaven.
2. My baby cousin, aged 2 and 1/2 months, got RSV (respiratory something-or-other virus, in which breathing becomes difficult due to... I think fluid in the lungs) and a high fever and had to be taken to the hospital. She's also okay now.
3. My friend went sledding, fell off her sled, and hit a metal pole, resulting in a fractured hip. She's in a brace and on bedrest, but will be back in school on crutches next week.
4. My grandfather died of terminal pancreatic cancer on Monday.

I really don't think anyone on here would care that much about my problems, but it's therapeutic to rant about it and put it on online for some elusive reason.

Most of my friends who know so far have said, "I'm sorry," given me a hug, or declared, "You should have stayed home from school! I would've." Two of my longtime friends, Spencer and Trevor, (they're brothers) called to ask how I was and listened to me talk about it for a bit. They were really great and made me feel so much better just by talking to me. But one of my friends, Chris, who I met this year has been really wonderful and understanding. So it's okay, I guess. Getting better or healing or whatever.
