Sorry your family is having such rotten luck lately.
To be honest, every time the phone rings after 10 PM or before 8 AM, I get a shot of adrenaline. Between my aging parents/grandparents and hubby's, my first thought is that someone is dead or in the hospital. It's like an asteroid. You can see it coming, maybe estimate when it's going to get here, but you can't do squat about it.
The good things are still there. You are still together, you still have your little boy, and while something tragic has happened, it didn't happen to your nearest and dearest.
Amen Gin...Its just so hard when my "family" are such dickheads.
Distance is supposed to make h th the aging parents. I'm like that with my Grandma Nagy ever since Grandpa Nagy died so suddenly. I've wondered what/when she'll go. Will it be suddenly or will be peacefully in her sleep, knowing she was ill and ready to go.
Paul was barely out of his teens if I recall. Its so hard because it just been so long since we've last been in the same spot. I wish I could have gotten to know him better before all this BS.
I wish my extended family loved us more. They know we'll always find a way to go and visit, especially if its been so long in between visits. And sometimes it would be nice for them to arrange a reunion down here. Even though there isn't much here, we can still find something to do somehow.
