Two weeks ago I went to my fourth week of class for Adobe Flash. I was assigned several projects for homework, but unfortunately, when we went that very same day to see my grandparents (my grandpa had been battling cancer and we knew he only had a little bit of time left) we found he had taken a turn for the worst and it was only a matter of days until he went home to be with the Lord. Those were some of the hardest days of my life . . . watching my grandfather dying. He was incoherent most of the time, aside from a short time we had with him that first night. The days and nights were filled with the sound of moans and groans coming from my grandpa. The whole family struggled to fight away the tears as we sat by his bedside completely helpless. Two days later, February 5th, he died. My mind could not stay focused no matter how hard I tried, and my school stuff suffered from this greatly. I did not do the homework for that week . . . I was too overcome with grief. Then I missed a class to be able to be with my family the day before his funeral service to prepare. That only added on to the one week of homework I already had . . . now I also had class work to do on my own in order to keep up with the class and the homework assigned for that week. I am now doing my best to catch up. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I know it is not impossible. My class is in the morning, lets see how much I can get done before then.
