[QUOTE="klmno, post: 124006, member: 3699"] Thank you, Ladies! I found a way online to order some food (local to them) and have it delivered. I got croissant sandwiches, potatoe salad, and chicken snacks with dip. It should be there tomorrow, early evening. If my mom mentions $30, I'll send it. I'll drop the flowers idea if I'd be the only one sending them, I guess. I'll write my uncle a letter after a few days- to give things time to calm. My aunt always had good food for us when we visited and I'm sure she can't rest in peace if she thought her kids and grandkids showed up under these circumstances and didn't have food to eat! This aunt who passed away took care of my grandmother- my mother's mom- for years before she passed. My mom went to Phoenix, as did another aunt, when my grandmother died. I sent a ham and other food then, since so many people were there for a funeral. My mom later told me that some other people ate some of it- she didn't though because , "well, it didn't look too good, but it's ok, it's the thought that counts". That's my Mom! Maybe it wasn't good- I'll never know, but my mom would have said that anyway. Before my difficult child got in trouble last year, I was looking into taking him to China for a vacation- once in a lifetime thing, you know!?! He was so excited and told my mom- she said "oh, why would you want to go there- you could look off to the side and see someone hanging there from a tree that they have killed". Yep, she's a real inspiration!! Of course, we can't afford to go to China now so what the H***. I don't know why- I usually don't feel like she raised me!! [/QUOTE]
