When It Rains It Pours

I hate to come back today with a bitter post after my complaining yesterday, but........


My dad called today. His mother, my grandmother, who is 86 years old, is not doing well. She has had some problems in the last month or so. She has been hospitalized several times and has an inoperable (because of her age) bone spur in her throat. Today they sent her home because there was nothing else they could do for her. I just pray that she doesn't suffer.

This is a picture of her and my grandfather (who passed away almost 12 years ago) taken many many years ago after one of their fishing trips.




On another sad note, Mr. Sweetie left today to go to Kentucky for the ice storm. As I mentioned before, he works with the utility companies for a tree cutting company, as a manager. He basically rides around all day in his truck supervising the actual tree trimming. Anyhow, he thought it could be a possibility that he'd have to go. Today he got the news. Not sure how long he will have to be gone. I will miss him.




I am sad.

I am so sorry you are sad :-(
I have no words in which to make you feel better, other than, I will think happy and comforting thought towards you and your family.

I hope that your sadness is brief.

Oh, my. That's a lot all at once.

But speaking as someone who was without power for four days, Mr. Sweetie is doing a wonderful thing. I could have hugged the crews from OH that were in our town. Or at least made them cookies... If I had power, that is.

I'm sorry about your grandmother...its so hard when they reach an age where their health fails. And I'm sorry your hubby has to go away for awhile. Mine travels quite often and it does suck being home without them!
