warning...depressing..morbid.
OK last week, a friend of my daughters and PCs boyfriend passed away. He had been in an accident in July and never recovered. It was not totally expected, but not unexpected exactly either.
OK....a couple days later, a friend of easy child and her boyfriend.....had her baby.....seemed fine, and a couple hours later, baby died, and docs still claim to not know why. :-( So easy child and her boyfriend are very sad for their friends loss.
Over the weekend, a friend of PCs boyfriend got stabbed .with a FORK......and.....died. Murder. Ug.
By a supposed friend. Yeesh.
SO by now I am thinking OK enough of this now.
I had a refund coming to me from our Marine Corps League and I was getting angry cuz it had not come....Well, thats cuz our paymaster.....passed away suddenly. I got the email yesterday. OK he was not young......not so old, but, not young. SO we have to do our MCL thing and a military ceremony etc. OK. Thats what we do. OK. except then a couple hours later, another email came in and another of our officers passed away, too! ANd they are scrambling to gather enough people to cover both ceremonies.
OK so, by now I am starting to get kinda creeped out.
OH man.
I hit overload today when I brought in my mail. I was SO excited, looked like a bunch of christmas cards?
Except one was one I had sent out, being returned to me, oh darn. Oh it had something written across it, next to those sticky labels they put on saying return to sender unable to forward? Something was handwritten next to that label. The card was to a dear friend of mine, who has not been answering my calls or emails lately. It took a minute for it to register in my brain what that handwritten word was on the returned card to her.
Someone, Im not sure who..wrote "deceased"
Sadly her husband is very seriously ill, military ptsd with psychosis. She was my age.....I have no idea what happened or when. And no way to find out. :-(
I think it was the last straw. I slowly collapsed to the floor, to the shock of husband and son......son came to me, picked up the mail......and grabbed me and began to hug the heck outta me.
Yes, it seems these things always do come in clumps here.....earlier last year we had 5 in one week....and 3 years ago it was my mom, my fav aunt who helped raise me and my best friend all close together (and moms brothers also died same week as mom, and it was also same time MY husband was in ICU and my son lost his eye......yeesh)......2 years ago it was the girl scout leader AND 3 boy scout leaders all in a row, within a very very short time.....
My kids have never been to a wedding.....and PCs baby shower will be their first......but.they sure are well versed in these somber occasions, darn it. and it has all stalled my holiday preps, cuz it is just slamming me, now. :-(
