news
In the past month, my sister and her boyfriend of ten-ish years eloped, a friend of mine from back in my Pharmaprix days got married to her high school sweetheart and close friends of ours got engaged. Facebook is a treasure trove of photo albums of my friends' weddings, baby showers, new families, first houses, etc. Isn't that special? On the flip side of all that good news, I also recently found out that someone just a couple of years older than me has cancer, non-hodgkin's lymphoma to be specific, the sister of a girl I know passed away unexpectedly last week and my mother tells me my grandmother is showing the signs of old age. It's like there's no neutral news. I'm at the age when I have to be an adult and face the realities of life and growing up, but on the other hand it doesn't seem like that long ago that I was doing a lot of growing up.
