So we were in LA this weekend for a family reunion. I think it was the first time I remember seeing all of my aunts and uncles in one place. It was fun, but also sad. The family reunion was supposed to happen in July, but it got moved because my grandma has to start more chemo for her cancer. It sounds like she doesn't have much more time left with us. I don't really like to think about it. I used to laugh at my grandma doing her "nightly exercises" which consisted of some squats and stretches. But now I realize that at least it made her stronger and active. Kind of like tai chi, I guess. It's hard to see her fluctuating in weight and losing her hair. Sometimes she's normal and other days she just seems out of it. She seemed to enjoy the festivities, but I wonder what is going through her mind. Is she scared? Is she just happy to see everyone? Here's a big group photo and I'll post the link once I have time to upload the rest.
And we swear that we're not going to do those early Monday morning flights from LA anymore. We're getting too old and it hurts too much!
