[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 27186, member: 84"] Thank you all so much for your kindness. You're right, of course. Except for missing the funeral, it will probably be better for Mom for us to be with her the days following the furneral. I hadn't thought of it that way. Especially with sis from Texas having health problems now too. easy child was sent home from work. She was visibly upset and her head nurse had overheard the conversation with me on the phone. N is not taking the news well. She was PaPa's Girl her whole life. T, well it's hard to tell how he's doing. I think it actually came as a shock to him. He did know grandpa had cancer, but I don't think it had ever really sunk in, if you know what I mean. easy child stopped by on her way home from work last night. We gathered in my kitchen around midnight. Girls were visibly shaken. T comes in out of the blue dressed only in a pair of shorts, his chub hanging out and decides to do a belly dance to cheer them up. Under different circumstances it would've been hillarious. (this is why I'm not sure if he's getting it) I did finally get the girls to stop looking at him like he'd lost his mind and to chuckle at his routine. It's good to remember laughter when your grieving. Current plan is to leave early thurs morning. easy child still has to see if she can get someone to cover her "on call" day for her. [/QUOTE]
