I was able to get a little sleep last night. About 4 hours anyway. That will do me for now.
I still can't believe it, Melissa is gone. I literally couldn't stop shaking for about 3 hours last night after I heard the news. She was only 30. I know she has been suffering from Epilepsy for all the years I have known her but still. My heart just aches for Brennan. He is only 11. He has lost so much in his young life, 2 grandpas, his best buddy (Murray the cat) and now his mom. I am so glad that his aunt Carla and Uncle Scotty are there for him now. They will be making the final arrangements today and then letting me know later on when the funeral is.
I know I probably should stay home today but I am going in to work anyway. It will help me to be kept busy. If the funeral is on a work day though the other Judy has already said she would work for me. She is usually off on Thurs. and Fridays. I called her right away last night.
At this point I don't know much of anything except that she was found on her bathroom floor. It seemed to be the place she most often went down when she had a seizure. I thought before it maybe was something in the bathroom that triggered it but she moved and it was still the same thing, in the bathroom.
I would think for now at least, Brennan will stay with his aunt and uncle through the end of the school year. After that I am not sure. I know my son wants him but I just don't know what will happen. I can't think about that right now.
Strange thing is that Melissa's former beau stopped in to see me yesterday at work. He is leaving the area and wanted some information and in the process also asked about Brennan etc.
I tried to get a hold of him last night but couldn't. Did leave a message though with his Pastor. See Brian was a Youth Pastor/director at one of the area churches around here.
They broke up about a year ago but Brian often checked in to see how Brennan was doing.
I need to get some food into me before I venture outside. I don't think I feel like shoveling snow this morning though. Will wait till I get home tonight. It doesn't look like there is that much thank goodness. We really were expected to get dumped on but it moved in another direction.
