he's rude, grumpy, crabby, a slob, disgusting, and bossy...but he is still my grandpa and he is really sick....He has both Lung and Bone cancer and was only given a year to live by the doctors...he went to the hospital last night though and won't last much longer, maybe a couple more months...so I might not be here very much for a while...I can see a lot of hospital trips and waiting room sits.. |

Most of the funeral arrangements have been made...The viewing is tomorrow and the funeral is Thursday..We went to the florist today and got the flowers that will sit on the coffin...they are going to put two deer figures in it, a brown one and a white one..just because he was a hunter, so we thought it would be appropriate...After the funeral the real work begins...mostly cleaning, and organizing the household... I did get some good news Monday...An email stating that I am one of the winners of the Zaphod contest that was held on FKMP... |

Dear Dear Ratties!
My heart and prayers are with you at this time.
The aftermath of a death of a close family member is daunting and draining. Please keep moments for yourself, little hidden places you can go away from family and kaos where you can have peace.... we will supply all the love and warm and fuzzies. Come here often. Find places where you are that are unconnected, that you can sit and cry and scream and that you can get real arms around you so you can be held. And when you are alone .... take time to close your eyes and FEEL GOD'S arms around you and know.... your head lays always on his heart. I am not a pushy religious freek but that image can be powerful , energizing and mostly exstroardinarily(sp) comforting.
Cuddles and Hugs and comfort but mostly love!

cuddles, Ratties. I was wondering if he had passed. It's been a very difficult journey for you. Even though it doesn't seem like it, this experience will make you stronger. |

Hi, Trystn. Cool alias. How did the big dumiis go so wrong? I've forgotten how long drawn the process can be - around here, if you die today, they bury you tomorrow. Hang in there. We all care about you a lot. |

The funeral went by fine...no complications (like the fighting that broke out at my uncle's)...They did dig up the wrong plot for him but I guess its fine...we have a family plot of 6...Great Grandma Pansy, Great Grandpa John, Great Uncle Clifford...Uncle Roger is by Clifford's feet....and Grandpa wanted to be by Pansy's feet but they put him under John's... And I got the Flowers....Thank you so much, Quirkies....My surprise was only surpassed by my dad's...His jaw just about hit the ground...they are beautiful.. |

My grandma's decided that she is going to leave...she will either be moving in with my cousin downstate or with her sister in Ohio..She isn't sure which yet or exactly when...She says my mom can stay here until my sister graduates and she moves to North Carolina...So even though I'm super shy in person and have a hard time meeting new people in person, I might end up moving too...unless I can find an awesome paying job here... I did tell Grandma that there is one thing I want if we can find it...Three years ago I bought Grandpa a hunting knife...I spent around $80 on it as his christmas gift and its the only hunting knife he actually took care of...I just have to find where he put it...I'm hoping he didn't sell it when he sold his guns... |

It sounds like your grandma is ready for a fresh start. I hope you will be too, sweetie. (I used to be shy, but when I found out that shyness is really self-centered fear, I was able to overcome it with the help of some sincere praying, and trying to be aware of what I can do put others at ease.) |

I'm glad your grandma is moving in with someone. It will be so much easier on her, and she'll have lots of companionship. I hope you can find the knife. It will probably turn up when cleaning out the house when (if) you move. Maybe if you do move, you'll find a great job. I'm shy too, (you wouldn't know that by knowing me from the boards!) so I know how hard it is. TQ, that's a good way to think about shyness. I'll have to pray on it as well. I never was shy until the past few years. I think it has to do with me gaining a lot of weight. Hopefully once I'm back on my foot I'll lose some again. |
