6/20/04 in Victim of Society

Well we spent about 2 hours at the hospital so I just sat in the waiting room and read my books. My uncle Gary showed up which I found to be a big surprise because he rarely ever sees the family. I guess he is in like this biker's club now and they travel around the states. It's called the Vietnam Vets or sumthing... but yea after the hospital we all went back to my grandpas for a bbq. My mom and my Uncle John were talking about how papa is on a bunch of medication at the hospital rite now and he sees things. He kept seeing my grandma in one of the machines and was talking to her! My uncle gary was like "yea its because spirits are attracted to electricity" And Uncle John was like "Oh yea! I heard that too..." It was weird. All this week people have been telling me about spirits and I have been reading about them and I think I am starting to believe in them. I think that like only our bodies die and our spirit lives on forever. I just don't know exactly where it lives yet...Im still learning about the after life and stuff. Its a very complex subject. Oh yea..when I got back from the hospital I parked next to this car that had the keys in it still and the engine was on and everything. I thought someone just ran inside to get sumthing and would come back out real quick so I didnt think much of it. But then an hour later when I came back outside to go somewhere--the engine in that car was still on! So I felt bad and saw these two old ladies walking and I asked if they knew who the owner of the car was and told them about it but they said they didnt know. Then they told me they would call the gate and they'd find out. One of the old ladies asked if I was visiting and I said "yea my grandpa john vallone" and she was like "Oh! I live right across from him! how is he?" and I told him he was ok and stuff so they looked relieved :-) After that I left and went driving down this street that I remembered my grandma took me on one time to go to this beautiful creek. She used to call it "the crick!" haha..I didn't remember how to get there but I really wanted to see it so I kept driving. Then I saw this street "calle aragon" and for some reason I felt like the creek was over there so I went down there and passed a few streets and then turned around and there was this other street and I thought "I think its down here" I kept driving and I was totally shocked to find a sign saying the creek was right there! So I parked and started walking down the path and there was the creek flowing with water and all these pretty trees and flowers surrounding it. Then I sat down on this rock under this big tree and I was remembering when my grandma took me there and was telling me about a mountain lion she saw and I started crying. I guess I have been very emotional this weekend with all I went through with my grandpa. Then I saw this beautiful swan! It made me happier lol..then I went back to the car and went to 711 and got a slurpee and I guess I was gone for longer then I expected because my mom called and yelled at me wondering where I was. So I went back to grandpas and hung out with my family for awhile then they all went back to the hospital and me my dad and brother went back home. Im glad Im going back there on Wednesday, I really love it out there. I like how its a town where only people 55 and over can live so like its really quiet and the old people there are SO friendly! Whenever I walked by or drove by one of them theyd smile and wave and that always put me in a good mood. Well sorry this entry is so long! :-P
