talking with family, "there is no one that needs you more than your son." / by Jaclyn Sison

Honestly, it’s pretty refreshing to talk to someone else about my issues. I called my auntie today because I was having difficulty putting my thoughts in order. It started out by me asking her how my grandpa was doing. He isn’t doing too well, and she mentioned that it might be time to head home to the Philippines when we can so we can say good bye to him. That was probably the hardest thing to hear. I had a dream about him last night that he was on his way “out",” and that’s what caused me to ask how he was.

Well, this conversation turned into a, “I have a story for you…” kind of conversation and I just opened up to her about so much stuff. All of the things I’m going through and how I got here. Well, she’s been checking up on me and the family often, and it’s been really nice to have someone in the family that I can be 100% authentic with and not be judged. Thank God my name is JacLYN, and her name is LYNette. I knew there was a reason.
