Does anyone pay attention to the announcement threads?

we don't have a case. we can still take it to court. ... tay is uber vain, and dragging it through the court systems so everyone will know what she's doing will hurt her more than our being without mom's half of the money (and unfortunately it's a pretty good bit of money)

they sent her home and said she'd be fine..... she died the next day of something that they should have found....

Oh... I assumed she did while in the hospital. That sucks, I'm sorry.

no.... 24 hours after i left the hospital with her, she had an aneurysm rupture, and she bled out. i was the one that found her and called 911, tried to do CPR, held her hand, etc.

i'd never wish anything like it on anyone. it's a horrible image i'll never lose

I bet it is...

i imagine i'll be in counseling eventually or get back on prozac or something (i seriously just typed prozach, btw)... i'm glad i was the one with her, though... as i said at her funeral, i know she wouldn't have wanted it any other way... and really, neither would i.

As long as it helps you somehow.

i still can't believe i was able to sing/speak at her funeral... i'm afraid people must have thought i was just cold and didn't care... i don't know...

this is way off-topic, and i can just shut up, now. ha

I wouldn't have thought that.

i've just had a lot of people say "i don't know how you did it" and "i never would have been able to do that" ...

i just had things i wanted people to know about her, and i knew if i wanted it done right, i needed to do it myself.... and she'd told me in the past she wanted me to sing at her funeral... i honesty wasn't sure if i'd be able to, but i did and even had people tell me it was the best my voice ever sounded....

i care entirely too much about what people think of me anyway, i guess.

I suppose so. And you only got one chance so you obviously had to take it.

true.

ugh. it really sucks being 19 in an 'adult' world... no one trusts me to know what i'm talking about or anything because i'm still 'just a kid'

You're more of an adult than your dad if that means anything.

yes.. but most people wouldn't know that.... which makes it hard. people assume they need to deal with him, rather than me.... the lawyer for her estate wouldn't talk to me until tommy gave him permission.

That's kind of funny.

it's funny, but it's also frustrating.

people just assume he's a competant adult.

I bet it is.
