My gorgeous Grandma Kido. I took this photo at my youngest brother’s graduation 2 years ago. They’re going to use it at the funeral. She died 3 days ago; she was 81.
She did so many things for me. The whole situation is insurmountable. I can’t even begin to describe the sorrow I feel now.
It’s true what they say: you never appreciate life until it’s taken from you.
She was ripped from us… Not by age or injury, but from sloppiness. It feels so meaningless. Everyone I’ve spoken with has said the same thing: we all expected to have her around for another 20 years.
I cried most of this weekend.
But right now, I feel so empty.
My grandma died and I’m filled with regrets and sadness.
And they shared the whole story.
I was roofied at a 4th of July party. They roofied my nalgene water bottle because I was keeping my adult beverage close. It didn’t hit until I was drinking my water & getting ready to drive home. My best friend & her husband rescued me at 2 AM and watched as I rode it out on my living room floor.
These badass bitches do not abide. Thank god they said something.

Theo, hunting my laptop for the evasive YouTube bird species.
He hasn’t left us yet, but it’s any day now. I’ll be sad to see this guy go, but he’s old and needs daily fluids. He won’t eat without appetite stimulants and anti nausea pills. It’s so very sad.
He’s given me a peek into a side of my boyfriend that I’ve never known, and I’m grateful for it. I’ve loved the joy and kitty antics he brought me. All I hope is he passes gently.
If Beyoncé can get cheated on, no one is safe.
