Well, I've been bad about posting yes, I really don't have any explination to why I haven't been posting, other than pure procrastonation, and overall laziness. Anyways, many things have happened some thing good, and most things bad.
My family has come to find out that my father has prostate cancer, more specifically cancer within the pelvic region. So throught the past few months we've all been going to hospitals and doctors sorting through this stuff. Not to get into heavy detail, my dad is currently on medications to supress the cancer cells, as well as a shot every three months. So right now its touch and go as he goes through this process.
Throughout this my pet guinea pig Hock passed away. That really hit me, especially with what was going on. I actually only finally cleaned up his cage two weeks ago. Hock died on Friday February 24th 2006, in the early hours of the morning. A few hours before I found him deceased, we noticed that he had become lethargic, although still slightly active. I thought nothing of it and decided to bring him to the vet in the morning. I woke up to my mom saying that Hock wasn't moving, and leapt with my broken back, to see what was going on. He was still, not answering my calls. After picking up his stiff body, i put him back down. Even though I knew he was gone, I still, for some reason, kept on calling him, just to see if he would respond. But of course he didn't. After a bombardment of emotion II remember calling my aunt and telling her. I couldn't go back to sleep so I waited for the vet office to open and called. They told me to bring him in, and they would perform an autopsy and after a private cremation. About three days had passed and they called up to tell me to pick up Hock's ashes. So I did, and I waited for the vet who performed the autopsy so I could get the results of why he had passed. They found some minor things that were not good, like he had a molar issue but it was not lethal. Then they told me that Hock had a weak atrium, and it was basically a type of heart disease which contributed to his death. Since it is hard to diagnose heart disease, and really no treatments, there wouldn't be anything that could have been done. So now he's gone, and a part of him is here with me, in a nice urn. A couple of days later, I received a card of condolences from the vet clinic, which did really, honestly lifted my heart up.
My cousin Zacharie Salvani Bacchus would have been two this past March. Thinking of the past, and what could have been is painful for us all, but by not thinking of the past and what have could have been would even be more painful. After all without pain, we truly would not know what love really is. Love isn't really simple, its more complex then anything. There's many different aspects of love, and it gives a certain notion that love is all positive, but without the negative, you wouldn't really understand the depth of what love is. If that makes sense. I do every now and then think what could have happened, how my family was before during and after his still birth, and I does hurt me to think about it, but I still do it, because even though he is not here with us, he's always around us, in our minds, in our hearts, and he will always be with us forever.
Lets see. The good that has happened. After all this time, Jeffrey FINALLY has a job, WITH BENEFITS. And all of those who know me, know that I LOVE benefits. My Auntie Doz, actually passed of my resume to the hospitality services in her building. So I am an employee of Dana Hospitality, so hopefully they'll give me a good place to work and advance.
Another tidbit of good information, I WENT TO MY FIRST TORONTO MAPLE LEAF GAME, with my Uncle Ray. Totally awesome. We sat in the greens, although they were high, they were still amazing seats. I don't think there is a bad seat in the place, but i'm not sure how their toilet seats feel. ANYWAYS, amazing game, as you may know, it was the game where they WON 7-0 against Buffalo. Amazing stuff witnessing those like what, 5 goals? in the first period, in the first like 10 minutes. I hope they'll play like that from now on. They're playing Boston right not, 1 - 1, in the second. Ahhh... Another keen observation, Toronto has some nice looking female fans ;);) hehehe. Okay, cool.
Anything else happening? I bought a new mattress, which is much needed as i aggravated my old back injury. hehe.
That's pretty much it for now. Oh yeah, since the last post, Ronnie became an Uncle, his brother Gabe, and sister in law Catherine gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Marc, and also Congrats to his other brother, Larry, and sister in law, Julia, whom is pregnant. :D I think i'm allowed to tell that, if not Ronnie, message me. :P
Anyways that enough for now, backs hurting, eye hurting, bladder bursting, so seeya!
