I don't know what to say...

My maternal grandmother has a cancerous tumor. In her pancreas. We just found out at 9:30 last night.

She showed signs of serious illness on Friday, and she was taken to the hospital yesterday morning.

Mom started to cry. Allie went into hysterics and bawled her eyes out for the next two hours.

Me? I didn't know WHAT to say or do. I just stood there with my face in my hands. I stood like that for a long time.

Thing is, how the hell was Mom so calm while calling the rest of the family about this?

The worst part? My grandma was halfway across the goddamn country, in Oklahoma, on 4th of July weekend.  Thankfully, her brother got her on a  7 AM flight to Newark, NJ. My aunt picked her up and took her to the hospital.

As I type this, Mom, Grandpa, and my aunt are with my grandma in the hospital. I don't know when I'm allowed to see her…

I didn't get much sleep last night, I can tell you that. And the little sleep I did get was plagued with more surreal nightmares, which involved:

Disembodied kidneys in a freezer bag, myself getting run over by a car multiple times, a haunted poster turning into some sort of Eldritch Abomination and killing anyone who went near it, a thunderstorm, psychotic clowns, and a hospital patient shooting all of her visitors due to a mental breakdown.

Jesus…

Listen, can you do me a favor and pray for my grandma if you believe in some sort of deity? The only thing I can do is hope.
