the day after the house warming I got some sad news


my kids great uncle died..brother of my ex fil,,but he had kept in touch with me..still considered me family, just like fil and his wife


it was a terrible car accident..27 yr old woman, 8 mo pregnant veered over the yellow line head on into his car


he was killed instantly ,his wife is in critical condition

(the woman and her baby ,later delivered by c-section, survived)

very sad

I spoke to ex fil and wife on Sun..I planned to go to the wake which was to Wed,,and they were glad I called and hoped to see me there

(she was going to call me Sat but didn't want to spoil the housewarming..how thoughtful!)

then it got changed to Tues

dil asked me to watch dgds and she and ds would go to the wake

it is a 3 hr trip

but she said it was ok if I decided I wanted /needed to go

spoke to dd and we agreed I should go

 

so dd, Bob and I will go tomorrow..I feel better..

it was real dilema

So sorry, Dutch. So many tragedies - so unnecessary. I hope being with the family eases some of the sense of loss - Rosemary

Sincerely,

thank you Carol


he was a much loved man


I am glad I made the trip..and his kids were appreciative


it is odd because this is really my ex's relatives but they still treat me like family


we had dinner with my ex fil and his wife , with whom I keep in touch, and 2 ex sisters

Oh Dutch that is a lot to deal with!! I'm sorry you have all that to contend with. I didn't realize that your DGD had been injured. How is she doing? It is great that your son was able to get home to be with the family. Boy, i hope that it won't be long before they can all come home to stay. That will be a truly wonderful time.
I send you all hugs and prayers for easier times ahead.
