Greeting Weirdoes, Nerds, and Normies alike. I know that i have been gone for a very long while. I don't know why I'm saying that, because I'm sure no one cared. let me update anyone who gets bored enough to read this. (reading this again makes it sound like you're not human. You are, and I care.) 

Well, I moved away from home in hopes of finding a job. I didnt... Turns out, no matter how much experience you have under your belt (I've been working with planes since middle school) you have to be  a certain age to get a job. Sucks to be me, I'm not 18 yet. So I've been surviving off of lack of sleep and reading actual books. 

After a while, I get a call from my father. I was expecting the usual small chat, but in reality it was far from that. 

Let me tell you a story: About 5 years ago my family lived together. I wouldn't call it the perfect family, but we were a family. I was a young child who didn't grasp the fact that life is unfair. My mother had news to tell me. She told me about how she was keeping this from me because of how sensative I can be. Meaning I had a lot of empathy growing up. She told me to guess a few times. I said: "Did tatta Martin get hurt? Do you and dad have to leave? I don't know." After taking a deep breath, she looked me in the eyes and said, " I have breast cancer." 

It took time for those words to sink in. After a long battle she had finally won.

I am still stuck in the city. It's been about 4 months since I last saw home. As much as I would like to say that I am doing okay, I would feel as if I would be lying to you. Who are you? Hell if I know. Thank you, though. Its nice to know some people care. Things here have been moving pretty slowly. Last month my mother and father went back home leaving me here. I'm not complaining. It was rather nice actually, to get a break. Being yelled at most of the day really took a toll on my mental state. A few weeks later, my mom comes back to get her check-up. She took an X-ray today, and she has a lot of appointments tomorrow, which is today actually. Its after midnight. Next month, well know how much longer she has. Keep us in your prayers. Much love to you all.
