Hello! ~We've got a video on youtube! Finally :)

Hello, everyone. It sure has been a while. So sorry about that. Quite a bit has happened since my last post and, unfortunately, not all those things are good. First, I'll start off with a Happy Thanksgiving! I know in the UK it is not celebrated but here in the US it's a big big big thing! I know it's late because Woah~ It's December 1st! But anyway, here's what's been going on.
My birthday came and went quickly (November 20th) and sadly I was sick so all I did was sleep >.> Melon's birthday was supposed to be celebrated the 26th as usual but a whole lot of things happened in that week that really turned our world upside down. 
On November 24th we (my family and I) all went to my Godmother's house as usual for Thanksgiving. Our family is outrageously large so we started cooking right away (two turkeys and two chickens as well). While decorating cupcakes we received a call. My sister had called to inform us my grandmother was sick. She's been sick for a while now with cancer and, by the looks of it, she only had hours left. Our family is strong, especially in numbers but this was just the fall of our world. 
On November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving, at approximately 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time my grandmother, and our Sun, Modesta Peña passed away. 
Melon's birthday was not celebrated. No one's tears were unseen. And our life was just... practically over...
For the first few days I couldn't do anything but sob. I screamed at night. I banged my head against the wall, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. I didn't go to school for a few days, and when I finally got up and headed out to class I ended up crying into the nurse's arms for who knows how long. 
It really is an awful thing. I still can't go a day without sobbing hysterically.
And so I decided~I'll savor every moment of my life with my loved ones. I'll take pictures, videos, I'll thank them as if it was Thanksgiving everyday, I'll APPRECIATE my family before they go as well...
And I really didn't want to rant but I really felt it was important. And so after all this happened I decided to make a video, at least one, of Melon~The teeny little furball that helped me through this. I'm definetly not healed yet, I don't think any of us are, but I know I'm getting better. And I know that my Grandmother would want me to keep going, to live on. And so I will. With Melon, and with any other hammie that falls into my grasp.
 Thank you for reading~Please, love and appreciate what you have before it's too late. My grandmother had more love from all of us than I can even comprehend and I know she is at peace.
Now here's your video :)
