white_tiger | Far Beyond Gone... (Reply)

For the most part, this week, so far, hasn't gone that well at all. The only saving grace? Conversations with friends online, as well as my getting paid $50.00. (I've already spent $10.00, since I had to use that for some items saved on Lay-a-way at Wal-Mart nearby-meaning I now have $40.00.)

My mother informed me yesterday evening that my grandfather is considering selling the house that he currently lives in. The house he worked on for most of his adult life. The house my mother and aunts grew up in. The house I spent my childhood at. The house I've visited for the past few years while my grandmother was sick.

Outside, I showed no emotion. Inside, I was heartbroken and furious. My mother has mentioned to me on more than one occasion that, if my grandfather were to decide not to live out there anymore, she would want the house. Truthfully, I agree with her. Neither one of my aunts have shown any desire for it whatsoever, other than the profits gained from it, which, should be quite a sum. Instead, he's considering selling the land?!

I'm not even in the mood to discuss a back issue I came across while over at the college yesterday. (That will be discussed tomorrow, possibly.)

The subject header, as well as the "quote" for this evening, is from a song that I've heard and thought it was pretty good. The choice of music is that aforementioned song, and that song is on a CD that was released just today. I plan to get the CD-titled Us and Them-sometime this month.

The hardest question to answer...is why?

Why?
