You know what? I’m tired of crying. My eyes have been leaky since last Friday night and then this week I get a new round of fresh, bad, worse news.
Got a call on Tuesday from the lady that I still call Granny. Even though I got divorced 10 years ago, I kept the inlaws. Telling me that my former mother-in-law was in the hospital with cancer and it didn’t look good. I guess she’d felt pretty bad for awhile and thought she’d get better so she didn’t go to the doctor. She went into the hospital Sunday night and they found out that she was literally ate up with cancer.
This morning I’m at work and see there’s a message on my cell phone from a Texas number. It’s my exhusband, telling me that she just passed away. I called him back and talked to him for a few minutes. She was always good to me and every year when I’d go to Texas, I’d go see her. Except for this year. This year, my trip was wonky and I didn’t find time to slide by her house. I told myself I’d go next year.
So I’ve spent all day at work crying. Awesome. I’m trying to not freak out too much around Sweety because I know he must find it odd that I still think so much of the family I married into before him.
The funeral is on Saturday but it would be damn near impossible to get up there for it. I feel especially bad for her grandkids (my niece and nephew). They lost their Mama a few years ago and now this.

In our odd way of looking at things, I know you will get this… but maybe the universe is doing this to you all at once so you can have several years of not losing loved ones.
I’m sorry. It’s definitely been a shit-tastic week for you. I wish I was closer so I could at least take you out tonight and get you plowed!
Much love!!!!!!!!
