23rd November 2011 | The DAY

I remember this day, like it was yesterday. Most of my nightmares are about her. I miss her, losing granny was the most painful thing I went trough in my life. It's like losing piece of me. She was not even my mother, I can't even think off what I am going to do when my mommy passes away, I'll go crazy probably, I'll need therapy and lot of time to put myself trough it. Definitely more than few pills of xanax and vodka. Self therapy at its finest.

I remember going earlier from the school to get my first tattoo, initials of a man whose family and him alone helped me to get trough a lot last two years, unfortunetely, I hapenned to be tattoed on the worst day possible. Typically I share news with my granny, so of course I went to see her with my dogs, but no one opened. Good, she's at friend's, I supposed. I wish she was.The thought of her laying just few meters dead behind the doors still haunts me.

I kind of knew, something was off. And everything clicked together, when her phone turned off, that wasn't usual for my granny. But me and my mom decided to go there after her work shift is finished. We couldn't get to her and we started panicking, calling the fire department instead of an ambulance. A fire truck, police car and ambulance car came in few minutes and it was frightening.

Back to afternoon, my neighbour happened to die a week ago and they just found the body. Of course you can imagine the smell the police officers, fire men, docs on place. Little did I know.
Later I found out the same fire men were at my house earlier, only living trough another tragedy.

My granny died.

I remember the tears, the chaos inside of me. The self blame, that I canceled, that I'd go to visit her the day after. I still believe it was all my fault. But what haunts me, I was the last who saw her alive, smiling. We knew she had condition troubles, her breathing was heavy, but she wouldn't go back to hospital again.

I remember how I went to the apartment before they took her out. I still couldn't believe I'll never get advice from her, talk to her, laugh with her. Damn I even cry whilst writing this.

I remember how I had to lead my mom back home and the terrible days afterwards.
It still seems unreal and I wasn't the same after this day.
I changed.

22nd November 2011 | The day before it all happened

Who am I? I am a friend, a daughter, a granddaughter and an awesome human being. Let's start with that, even I never understood the last few words and still live in self hate. It has been too long. Starting this diary is really personal for me. I love writing, god I even love Mondays more than Friday. And I love how misdiagnosed it is really easy to get. Before all this, I used to be kind of happy person. The year 2011 wasn't the luckiest, I definitely  don't remember that year with a bright smile on my face, it still hurts a lot. The day that changed all is about to come, but I remember what I felt quite exactly. I have time, to pry in my memories, even they hurt like a bitch.

I remember going out from school, happy that another day passed by. I wasn't really happy, but I was about to go to donate blood plasm, you'd get 20 bucks as a reward and feeling of doing the right thing. I mean, this all clicks together right? I was 18 that time, I had a tattoo going on and saw my granny two days ago on my name-day celebration with her. Which I really enjoyed, I enjoyed spending time with her, she was like my second mom, but better at some point. I used to spend lot of time with her, we used to dance to Mambo Number Five in the living room, having the sickest dance creations. Professionals would hire us. I was getting sick, my mom had fever and I still had to do my last blood plasm donate before I go get a tattoo. But unfortunetly, I was there too early and they didn't accept me as a donator, so I went home, calling my granny, that I won't come. Oh how I should. 

This day was pretty much boring, but you'll understand with the next few posts, I will come to days like this, to suffer but close some parts of my suffering. Because all therapy I am in now seems like failing, at the end, I believe it is self help, that will cure me. That will help me and I'll be living happy life again.
