I've been in San Antonio for the past week with the family. For sadder reasons though - it seems my grandpa is very sick due to his complications - he's been admitted into the hospital and is on life support. I won't go into details, but we can only see him thirty minutes every two or three hours. We're hoping for the best or at the very least that he is peaceful while he's staying in the CCU.
I have gotten to meet my grandpa's side of the family as they come and go in the waiting room- and it's pretty incredible considering I've never met nor seen any of them before. They're all very nice people and have been the most supportive towards my grandmother.
On the upside, in the week I've been 'living' in the waiting room, I've watched some lovely movies: 'Funny Face' (j'adore les actuers Audrey and Fred Astaire! - Ce sont tres magnifique!) and Friendly Persuasion with Mr. Perkins. I'd post a clip of it, but the hospital blocks a lot of streaming sites, so no dice on being visual this blog. Wednesday I finally saw (half of) 'Anatomy of a Murder'! I had been wanting to see this movie after falling in love with the soundtrack composed by Mr. Ellington himself - it just so 50's jazz and I love it. Me thinks James Stewart is oh-so-likeable (as he is in every movie). He's just a swell guy you'd like to have in your neighborhood, haha. I shall continue my movie obsession tonight with a possible viewing of...Gene Kelly's classic dance moves.
God, I love classic cinema.
Here's to hoping all the best for my grandpa, no matter what God's will is for him. :)
