Grandpa funeral and then a picture of my real Grandfather.......
Talk about fucking confusing. So my real grandfather killed himself when my father was 10 - my Grandmother remarried my Grandfather That I Knew and then no one ever spoke of the first one ever again. I never saw a picture of him until a couple of weeks ago - online and then the night before last I saw real photographs. My cousin brought them - her father that died just recently had them. SO HOW CONFUSING IS THIS?? So I scanned the photos and I was scanning them - I blew one up - and this shit really flipped me out - I LOOK JUST LIKE HIM. He was an alcoholic and he killed himself and I look just like him. Only he was gigantic - so tall and a fucking HUGE HEAD and HUGE CHIN. Which I do still have. That really fucking flipped me out. I was never not going to be an alcoholic. Never. I feel so blessed more than ever to have the program. You know - he didn't have that option - oh wait - or did he? I think he sort of did - but the program was so much smaller then. Isn't that so sad? He has the same off center face - hairline - really - the dark hair - so strange. I have never looked at a person's picture and thought - oh I look like them. I mean I resemble my parents - both of them and I take after my father - I guess - but oh my fucking GOD - I look like my dead Grandfather that I never met. I have to go to sleep - these last few days were intense - really intense. A wake, a funeral, dinners, people, babies, more food - Jesus Christ. Oh - full military service funeral - that's a lot. I loved so much my Grandfather - he was such a nice, funny man - so good to my Father - he was a real Dad to him. I feel so grateful he was in my life. I guess there is a part of me that wishes I could have known them both - that's all. Yeah. Oh I got my fucking period early because I almost got run over by a cab I think. Or maybe it's my endlessly smoking super or whoever it is from the building. Well - my sponsor said to say something when I smell it. So I smell it - but I'm not going to say something. Oh dear Lord. I've had enough for a few days. LOVE YOU SO MUCH BLUEBIE. I AM YOUR REAL WRITER.
