Was a rough night last night. Had to go to the funeral home for my cousin. Her week-old grandson died. He was very premature. It is amazing that he lived for a week considering how early he was. It was very sad and heart-wrenching.
Going to that funeral really brought back lots of memories for me. Almost 4 years ago, my own grandson died at birth. Little Marcus died because of something known as shoulder dystocia. Basically, he was too big and got stuck. Too far down for a c-section but too big to come out the "natural" way. I blame the military doctors for his death. They should have done a c-section, but somehow they thought he wasn't as big as he really was (over 12 pounds). No recourse, no closure, just lots of tears and dashed hopes. It was hard on my son and even harder on his ex-wife.
Then we heard that a friends son was in a bad car accident on Sunday and is in the hospital. He will be ok, but it was pretty serious. We are glad to hear that he is doing much better now. You just never know what life has in store...
And to top it off... Pennsic is looming. These still so much left to sew and pack, I just don't think I'll get it all done. But somehow I can't wait to be there. I'm really looking forward to spending with my friends, relaxing and sharing time with all of you. Soon. Soon.
