I realized this morning that after my flurry of posts in May, I haven't posted in June at all. I was idly thinking about what I should post; maybe about my new dolls, the pretty heads JerrySugarAV painted, getting to name the new MSD sized Bobobie elf girl, the trip to Stone Mtn for Alan's birthday last Saturday...then I got the call from my mother this morning.
Seems my brother's wife fell last night and hit her head so hard that she's now in a coma with a large blood clot in her brain, and they don't expect her to live. Oh my god! She's in her early 40's, in fact her birthday is next Wednesday, July 4th. I'm like, wtf?? Needless to say, we're all in shock. I'll call my brother this afternoon, see if I can find out more about what happened. Anyone who's so inclined, please light a candle for her, or send a good thought her way. Miracles do happen.
This puts us in a really tough position. We're supposed to leave Saturday evening to drive up to VA. We have plans to spend next week (my birthday on Monday and the 4th on Wednesday) with Alan's mom. If we don't go now, we may not make it up there this year. I hate for Alan to go that long without seeing his mom, she's a survivor of a particularly nasty form of breast cancer. So, now we're sort of in limbo. I guess if my SiL is still hanging in there come Saturday, we'll go ahead with the trip and just keep in touch with my brother.
Treasure every moment, you just really don't know what can happen between one heartbeat and the next.
