Since a lot of people are going to ask, just putting this up for conveniences sake, it will be taken down in a couple of days.

I'm upset and depressed because my cousin's high school graduation was today. It's in a town three hours away, and I was dead set on going. My body and illness however, had other plans when I woke up today.

I really like my cousin, he's a great guy and we've been friends pretty much since he was born. He's going to give a speech today, get his diploma, and have one of the happiest days of his life so far. I am stuck at home and missing that. His family, his immediate one anyway, doesn't give a shit about him. They dote on his brother, and even though the cousin who is graduating works his *ass* off and is graduating with a 4.0 GPA, his parents couldn't care less. They're not even going to BE there when he graduates! I wanted so badly to be there for him, because he f***ing deserves the support of his family, and this goddamn illness took that chance away from me. I feel terrible for not being strong enough to push through the pain and go, and worse for him because I know he wanted me to be there. So... that's why I'm upset. And I feel a little better for ranting about it a little, too.

Sorry for this, like I said, it'll be gone in a couple of days.
