Death of a love one

Oct 09, 2007 13:37

It has been a long time, and my life has been so crazy and busy, work as much as I love it it has gotten really busy, more Professor and students traveling and especially over seas. and the worst is as always, they have no ideas of the rule, the laws and what paper work needs to be file before leaving. Usually the traveler will come to me and get very upset and expect me to fit it.
I don't make the rules, I don't grant VISA and I am not the one who spent out the budget and there is no money to travel on and they just have to go to this very need and important Conference. Oh well it is what keep my job interesting.
Friday while I was at the hospital having some test, my Mom call, about 10pm, now Mom doesn't call that late, Mom isn't even awake that late so something must be up. I asked if it was ok to take the call and of course it would be fine. Mom was calling to let me know that my Brother-in-law had passed away. My sister in Texas had been with the same man for 37 years they had never been married and they just getting ready to do just that on November 24, we were all going to be there and have family re-union it was suppose to be a happy time, we are all still going but it will be for other reason.
I have been spending a lot of this week, crying, Walter that was his name, was a mountain Man from the hills of New York, he loved hiking, swimming, biking, and skying. He love flying, and farming, and he love the out doors. My sister love shopping, eating out, staying in Hotels, and taking long drives in air condition cars. They didn't have lot in common, but they were so well match and so much in love. I would go to their upstate home in the woods on weekends and Walter and I would spend the days doing all of the out side things that we loved and at night Laura an I would go shopping or to some thing in doors, it was the best of both world and I for one will miss a lot.
Even through his death was expected it doesn't stop it from hurting, some time the expected one hurt the worst.
Rest in peace my dear friend, and brother. I will always remember you.
