I can't believe how fast things are going in my life... Everything's changing and I don't really think that I can handle it so fast. I'll start from the begining...
Okay, so my uncle Shoji has been really sick for a really long time now. My uncle Shoji was always so nice and kind to me. Despite his health problems, he was always so happy. He used to take me out to places that I loved to go to when I was little and still living in Japan. He treated me like his own daughter since he didn't have a kid. For the past year or so, he has been going to the ICU due to his frequent heart and kidney problems. About two weeks ago, he was released and could go back home again, but then he went back since he was having trouble with something. This really wasn't new to me though, since he's been going to the ICU almost every week. I just thought that this time was going to be like the previous times, but I still hoped that he would get better. This time, I was wrong though. So very, very wrong. When I was in Germany two days ago, my brother checked his email and there was a letter from my cousin saying that there was an emergency, and that we should call home immediately. When we did, we found out that my uncle Shoji died the day before. I was so hurt and sad, and still am, but I'm kind of happy that he wasn't suffering anymore. My family had gotten mad at me since I was happy and acting normal, on the outside at least. I just can't believe that he's gone...
I just got back from Europe today, but tomorrow I have to get on a plane and fly to Japan to go to his funeral, and I'll be there for a week. And guess what day the funeral is? On July 29th... my 14th birthday. I don't know how I can be happy on my birthday now... I know that I won't be able to sleep, since I got used to the time zone in Europe, but then I have to get used to the time zone in Japan, then in California. I also won't be able to sleep since I'm just too sad and have so many things on my mind. I had plans to do something on my birthday with my friends, but I guess I'll have to cancel. I also had another close friend die in a car crash on the same day my uncle died, Paolo. Paolo was only 22, he worked very hard in his job, and he was so kind to everyone around him. I'm sad that they both died. At least I had fun on my trip to Europe... but that's not enought to make me happy. Everything is happening so fast...
Oh, and can somebody fill me in when I get back from Japan on what happened/happens here at Lyoko Freak while I was away for these three long weeks? Thanks.
