karma police (?)

i'm coming home earlier than expected
my moms cancer is 'more advanced' and surgery is going to be 'more complicated' than expected
my grandmother had a heart attack and died on saturday
so im flying home early for a funeral
merry fucking christmas.

but

i can be angry
i am
and i can be scared
i am
and i can be a lot of really horrible things right now
but i'm going home and i'm so friggin happy, because i get to see my mom and i get to help my dad out with all this stuff, and i get to sleep in a big bed with my sisters, and i get to see snow- not rain, and i get to hug my family, and i get to see the longwood girls, and i get to hug them too. so i'm still privileged. i still have a lot to look forward to this december. and yeah its hard to take the good with all the bad, but...'how we survive is what makes us who we are'.
so lets fight the good fight
and lets do it with a fucking grin plastered on our face.
and lets be called crazy
and lets laugh until we can't breathe
and lets dance until our feet hurt
and just give us a merry christmas and a friggin' happy new year.
please.

hey dana,
i'm really sorry to hear about everything. when are you coming home? sounds like things will be busy but if you have some time and want to meet up and listen to "drums", i would love nothing more :)
