Family

Family Well to start off my parents divorced when I was in 5th grade, it was one of the toughest things I've had to deal with. Three years later, my 8th grade year, my grandma Greta passed away. She had lung cancer and refused to do kemo, she wanted to tough it out. September 17, 2009, worst day of my life. 4 days after my birthday. 2 years later I still haven't accepted the fact that she's gone. About 10 months later, my grandpa Martin passed away. (He was on my dad's side.) I wasn't as close to him so that wasn't as tough but seeing my grandma cry was the worst feeling I've ever gotten. Enough with the bad, now time to tell about the rest of my family. Let's start off with my dads side, he has one brother, Jim, and 4 sisters, Mary, Ann, Eileen, and Jeanette, he also has a younger brother, Douglas, who died at birth. This is where it all gets confusing. My grandpa John died at war and my grandma married my grandpa Martin, he had a son, Calvin who married my aunt Mary, my grandmas daughter. Confused? Basically my aunt married her step brother. My aunt Eileen and uncle Ray have one child, Kyle, she's married to David and just recently had a baby. My uncle Jim and my aunt Anne, they have two kids, Tyler and Connor. My aunt Mary and uncle Calvin have three kids, Grant, Jake who's married to Lisa, and Bridgette who's married to John, they have one child. My aunt Ann, who's divorced, has two kids Matt and Jason, Matt who just got married about a month ago to Amy. My aunt Jeanette and uncle Pat have two kids, Dane who's getting married to Karen in a couple of days, and Jennifer who's married to Michael, they have adopted Michael's son. That's just my dad's side! My mom's side isn't as bad. Now onto my mom's side, I currently don't live with her. My grandma Greta and grandpa Willie have three children, Willie, Wendy (my mom), and Gretchen. My uncle Willie and my aunt Courtney have three kids, Jack, Blythe and Sloane. My mom has two children, me and my younger brother John. My aunt Gretchen, who's divorced, has two children, Natalie and Jess. That family isn't as confusing, thank God.
