In another example of what appears to be a year of fuckupddyness of massive proportions, my grandfather – my mother’s father, as if she hasn’t had enough to deal with lately – is currently resting up after investigative surgery to see if he has prostate cancer.

Please cross your fingers that he doesn’t. I won’t know how to deal.
