Can I get through a single day without something going wrong?

My grandad had a heart attack this afternoon and is in the hospital now. My other grandad died three years ago, my dad last year, and if I lose someone else this year too...

My mum called and told me we needed to fly to my grandad’s city immediately. I packed both my bag and hers, and we made it to the airport. But then we decided that maybe my brother and I shouldn’t go because the travel costs would be too much for our budget. We stayed until mum boarded the plane, and now we're back home, waiting for updates. 

I’m going to drink to distract myself from everything that’s happening right now.

This is a rushed journal entry.

I could have chosen not to write it, but I’m trying to document everything in real time.
