Davo
Hello, all! I'm back early. TC came down to camp on Tuesday, but he had to leave yesterday so I went with him. We went to get his paycheck at about quarter to 5 and then went to his house to hang out. Then he took me out for Chinese!! Yum!! :-) And we went back to his house and watched Beyond Borders with Angelina Jolie (ah!!). It was very moving.
Anywhoo, my vacation was wonderful. The "big surprise" turned out to be a new camper. The only thing bad about it was the size of the bathroom. God forbid anyone pregnant or slighly obese came to visit us. The thing is fucking tiny. Annoyingly tiny. Other than that, the camper was very nice. We got a lot of storage space and now all 4 of us have our own bunk. My little 19-month-old neighbor was up all week too. She's so adorable. She cried everytime I had to take her back to her site and leave her with daddy. Shan was up for the 4th of July weekend and so was BB so I hung out with them. So yes, it was a very fun, relaxing weekend. :-)
Unfortunately, my dad brought bad news on Tuesday. He had been over at my grandparents' house powerwashing their deck. I guess my Uncle Frid called them to say that my cousin Davo was in the hospital. He was complaining of a mass in his abdomen that was causing him pain and he assumed was a stretched muscle or a hernia. I guess they ran every test under the sun and discovered that he too has cancer. He's only 15. That blew me out of the water. First his mother and now him. I really don't see the purpose in this. There must be one somewhere, but this really is cruel. Now I must ask you to send good vibes his way, he's my favorite guy cousin. He also has a journal here. He's a strong boy, but this is not fair.
Well, I hope you all had a great week. Please send vibes to my aunt and cousin. I'll write again soon. Ta!
