Unexpected

This is definitely more precise because it has to do with what has happened recently. It is about this man that was my mom's boyfriend. They would have gotten married but it was best not to because the healthcare benefits would get messed up. He was diagnosed with Hunington's Disease about the time I was in first or second grade. I never really loved him or liked him because of some things he did when I was younger. There were times he was nice to me, but I could never remember them because I was so young. He did care about me, but he still had his moments where he was a jerk. The beginning of his disease played apart in him being a jerk as well. Living with him and the disease has taken about seven years. My mom never dumped him when she found out about his disease. It was saddening to me now because she found out on her birthday when I was younger. She was always by his side. He annoyed her many of times but that never changed her loving him. She is somewhat glad that he is going to pass away not knowing what happened because she hated the idea of putting him in a nursing home and him feeling depressed and abandoned. We both never expected it to happen in these past few days, and we will figure out some things on our own. It was best for him because that disease gets worse and it gets harder to watch.

To Mike: R.I.P


ps. There are many that don't know of Hunington's Disease. It is a rare genetic neurological disease. It causes the brain to shrink and the body to lose control. There are some cases where the people are violent. It starts off a bit like tourettes-- a little twitching. To the near end they look like someone from the Holocaust and they can't eat by themselves and can't even control their own bowel movements. It is hard to watch and live with it.
