my grandmother is dying, the funeral is next sunday.
the west coast family (read: my mother, brother, sister and myself [my father's too ill to travel]) is convening in oakland and then flying together out to the east coast.
i haven't seen my mother in almost two years.
this is a really shitty way to meet again.
