The ships have come to carry you home...
I have more sad news to report in the Scheier family. My step mom, Amy, passed away this evening. I don't think I've mentioned this in my journal before, but Amy was battling liver cancer for some time. Things started to take a turn for the worse a few days ago, and her body simply let go this evening.
I wasn't as close to her as I wished I had been. She and my dad had only been married for three years, which makes this circumstance so much more tragic. Also, the fact that she was only in her fifties. I wish I could be there for my dad right now, but I know I won't be able to make it over there until the weekend. My sister's taking it pretty hard as well, and I wish she was closer so I could see her. I feel absolutely horrible. There is far too much tragedy in my family at the moment.
Apparently the funeral is going to be on Monday. I've never been to a funeral before. I have no idea what to expect or how I'm going to handle it. My dad was trying to tell me that he didn't think Amy was going to be around for much longer, but I guess I didn't see it actually coming to this. Maybe I didn't want to believe it? I don't know. All I know is that I wish I had taken more time to be with her. She really was a wonderful woman.
