Laura Lee:: I am vegan. I am tattooed. I love the earth. I believe in love regardless of gender or race. I will spend my life fighting oppression and spreading compassion. Sometimes my dogs are my favorite people in the world. My family has a second home on the big island of Hawaii, and that is where my heart is. I wish I could fly away...

Everything is falling into place with the move. Josh is looking like he will have secured a job, the house is ready for us, I'm starting work soon... Just have to finish up a few big papers. I got a new tattoo started, a huge manatee on my side. Lots of changes.
But things can't always go well, right?
My grandmother has been diagnosed with tumors in several different organs. We think it originated in the lungs at this point. I don't think the prognosis is very good. It's just a matter of time.
I found out 2 days ago. I am still in such disbelief. She just seemed so invincible with everything that came at her.
She was such a major part of my life growing up. Lately, I've just been so disconnected from a lot of my family. I miss the way things used to be. I can never have that back now. All I can do is spend a few last moments with her and try to relive what we once had.
