Sometimes people focus on other's problems so that they don't have to face their own. That might be what your grandmother is doing.

You know it's weird, I've always liked having a small family because I don't have those entanglements that someone from a large family has.

My parents are gone. I just have the one sister.

But in this situation, my aunt and sister have rallied around me even though I haven't been the greatest towards them. So today I envy people who have a large family. Yes, as you get older you have more to help with. But in your time of need they'll be there for you too.

I even envy W a bit. Her mom and her sister are filling some of the void that I used to fill. That hurts a bit. But blood is thicker than water.

I hope your brother and grandmother get well soon so you can clear your mind a bit.
