Not so good day...

Last night I got a call from my folks letting me know that my Grandpa passed away. He wasn't in really good health but it certainly wasn't expected. We will be leaving Michigan today for Arkansas (about a 13 hour drive). I will have to drive my own vehicle since I can't stay as long as my mom and dad plan to. Luckily (in an ironic way) my husband is currently laid off work for 3 weeks so he will be able to handle the boys.

I guess it doesn't seem real right now. I didn't sleep well last night and my DH said that I was crying in my sleep. This is the 5th death this year between our two families and it's hard to take. I do know that my Grandpa is in a far better place and that brings me comfort. His quality of life was compromised but my heart aches for my Grandma. I hate that she has to be alone. She is a wonderful woman and I'm not sure how long she will last without him. She's just lost too much lately. Prayers for her would be appreciated.

With this said I probably won't be posting for a few days unless I can get computer access and time down there. I should be back by weeks end if all goes well. Thanks for listening:)
