she's one in a million

It's cloudy.  And, it's not raining.  This kind of weather day after day makes me want to do nothing but sleep.  I've been so sluggish; I actually congratulate myself when I get out of bed in the morning and make coffee.

I feel checked out.  As excited as I am for this trip in five days, I wish so badly I could be at home.  I miss my family and well, they are all pretty much too busy to miss me.  Every time I call someone, I get a distracted, checked out person on the other line.  Except for my grandmother.  And, she is the number one person who should be distracted right now as my grandfather has had major health issues recently.  But, she wanted me to know from the bottom of her heart that she loves me, that she is thinking of my trip, and that her prayers are with me.  She always comes through when noone else does and I honestly don't think she has a CLUE that she is that person for me.  She's like that with everyone.  She loves people and esteems others more than herself; more than her current situation and more than her own emotions.  I wish I could give her a big hug right now and tell her the same; that Grandpa being sick has consumed my thoughts lately and that I love them and miss them so much.  Sometimes, a girl just needs her grandma.  I'm stashing a photo of her in my Ukraine journal.  Yep. 

Five days!!  I cannot wait to see the kids.  And, all of my friends from afar.  A big thank you to the humble person who gave me support recently and wanted to remain anonomous!
