Headed South

Dear Blog,

This week has been nothing short of interesting. I find out my cousin Mikey died, accidently, by playing with a gun that had a hair-trigger. I knew that Mikey wouldn't hurt himself intentionally, no matter HOW hard shit might have seemed to be, that just not Spilman fashion. So, I get a flight, which Joanna paid for and I'm super thankful! I am flying out of BWI for the first time, Rachael, Jessie and I end up near the Cargo area of the airport, U-Turns rock... I get on the plane, I used mobile ticket which let my cellphone be my ticket, which was kinda cool. I get to Houston, our connection flight, was on a prop jet that I could see the blades and there were 18 people on there. Everyone's bigger in Texas. I'm the oddball of the family. And today, we are getting Mikey's ashes and having dinner with the family. Fried Rice, Chinese Cabbage, and something else. My sister leaves for Korea to pick up the baby tonight. Oh, and I met my little cousin for the first time since he was a baby.

I know I am writing like a robot. None of the flow that I've had before. I am holding up well, I guess I am more open this time around to people being around me, and having support of my family. I am thankful for my boss being so understanding, and my friends to help me out. The people I didnt have to twist their arms when it came to just asking whatever it was that I needed and they didnt hesitate to offer. For my Delta Zeta sisters who all gave me hugs and messages of support. I know I wasnt close to Mikey in the last 10 years but he was still family and to lose someone sucks.

The week isn't over, I still have plenty to tackle.
