Difficult Times

Sep 11, 2008 18:14

The last week has been very difficult, but it's getting better. Ronnie's father died last Thursday while I was at school. I dropped everything and drove to New Castle the minute I checked my messages, and life was a whirlwind until Sunday. Things are starting to get back to normal, now. It's rather amazing to me how much relief I felt when he passed--not because I wanted him to go, but because we simply don't have to expend that time and energy on checking up on him, worrying over him, and waiting on pins and needles to hear what the next medical emergency would be.

He had a hard life for the past 2 1/2 years, and I'm hoping he's found some peace in death that he could not find while he was living. I am dreadfully sorry that he will never get to be a part of our lives again, and never meet any children Ronnie and I may have. Its sad to me that his choices in life robbed him of his quality of life, and robbed him of his chance to be a part of his family in his later years.

The early part of this week was fairly difficult for me for other reasons I will not get into here. If you are curious, though, just ask me. And of course, school has been great, but I'm beginning to get that ol' overwhelming feeling. Everything always works out, though.

Not a great post, maybe, but I felt bad for not updating anything lately. I have to get cracking on my Etsy shop again, and take care of some other web chores that have fallen off in the past few weeks with all that's going on.
