It does! Three is possibly the worst number. Especially when it comes to bad luck. Or maybe just fate.
Christ. Can it possibly get any worse?! My guess is, yes.
For the past two weeks, my life has been at it's most eventful. I don't remember having a 'full' two weeks ever.
If you are/were a parent and you had a tiny, tiny argument over.. nothing. What would you do? Kick your daughter/son out, or just grit your teeth and cope with it? Heh, my mum can't seem to cope anymore. An argument = kicked out. It sucks. But I love her.
I kept saying out loud, "I hate you!". Screaming it every five seconds with some Car Crash music on the go, repeatedly. But then immediately afterwards, the "I love you" would follow. I can't say I hate you, it hurts to say it. Very superstitious, you see.
Maybe that's 1 of 3.
My grandmother dies. I never thought of her as my grandmother. She was just 'grandad's wife'. She died from sorosis of the liver. She drank her whole life, not stopping when the doctors told her to. Sounds so insensitive and cold, I know, but it was her own fault. She had choices. Even when it was early enough to stop. She could stop, which is obviously hard for someone who's been drinking their whole life, or just carry on the way she went and let her liver rot away. Everybody was angry at her. But there was still love.
Maybe that's 2 of 3.
My uncle has less than 48 hours to live. He has stomach cancer. Yesterday, the doctors were saying he might just see Christmas. But now, they say his liver has doubled it's size so they can't do chemo. I think that's how it works. So he has 48 hours.
My auntie is the one I feel sorry for. Having lost her mother, just one week ago, now finding out she has her husband lying on his death-bed. Her daughter suffering from something which I can never remember the name of, fluid on the brain.
And maybe that's 3 of 3.
And my little Lucy, the cat, she died. She ran away, like in the movies, to die alone. Bless her.
My little 1 year old cousin is having lung problems. He has to spend the rest of his life going to the hospital and have oxygen carried around with him 24/7 because he was born with his lungs down where his stomach was and his diaphragm where his lungs were supposed to be. He's a very lucky little man.
So within two weeks. One lady has died, another about to die, one little boy critically ill, Lucy has gone, and I'm having to live in a place not called home. But that's not worth moaning about compared to everything else.
But see, I'm looking forward to the future. I'm actually excited, which is hard to believe, about the things both sad and happy life is willing to throw at me. Bring it on!
And I'm healthy. Both mentally and physically. I have never been so appreciative and thankful in my life.
I just felt like getting that little bit of my mind.

Im so sorry hun. I can't imagine how the rest of your family are coping right now - but thankgod you seem to be ok!
Its good you are focusing on the positive things in your life alot of people would be cracking up in your situation.
I know how it feels for everything to go wrong at once. A particular time really was bad and i tried to think i was ok but i so wasnt! Glad you are.

Yes, I am picky.
Although I'm nasty too, just not in this particular instance.

Ok, so maybe I wrote the title before I wrote everything else, then never bothered changing it. But I didn't think of you as being 'nasty'.. just, picky! ;)

The bedsheet. What do you think?
Give over WHAT?
Sorry to here about that Ms NY, it must be hard. Every one goes through bad patches in their lives, and its bound to get better. And come on Blank, give over.

I just wondered why you made such a big deal out of the "it comes in threes" thing, when there were more than three things. Didn't mean to be nasty about it.

I am really sorry to hear that. Having members of your family so close to you die is just too hard. I hope you are ok.
Also, I understand about what you say about the 9/11 tragedy. But for a minute there, I disagreed! I don't know why. Having four members of your family die within a short space of time seems to make the 9/11 seem like nothing. And I know how insensitive and cold that seems, but we weren't close to the people that died then. I hope that doesn't sound bad, I don't mean for it to be! But I really do hope you are ok!

It could ALWAYS be worse... And once was worse for me.
See my uncle, aunty and cousin all died in a car crash on a saturday which really sucked (i said that wrong... it sucks because they all died, not because it was on a saturday) because they were a few of my favourite family members so like everyone was sad for about a week as you normally would. At the same time as this my gramdma was in hospital and she was probably my favourite family member other than mum and dad and brothers and exactly one week after the car crash she died in hospital.
How life sucks so incredibly bad.
But then again there are things worse than this, for example 9/11 bombings on the trade towers.
