Bev's dad passed away on Friday at 4:01 in the morning. Which in a way was shocking, yet in another way not. He has fought a long and hard battle. He was in the rehab center, but was not improving. He was eating on his own, but was still not breathing on his own and could not get out of bed without help. It is really starting to hit me. I have known him all my life, he used to tell my parents when I was doing something I was not supposed to be doing (which was not often since I am a perfect angel, RIGHT) He had this god awful paper route that he did and us kids in the neighborhood used to help out. It was horrible, I remember helping, the early early times we had to be there, and the horrible feel of those newspapers on the hands. If my parents ever went out of town he would tell my parents who I had over, what we were doing, the whole nine yards. He has always been a pain in my ass, but he was always a good guy. I know now he was just looking out for me. He was also a good guy, as much as he was a pain, he was good to us too. I grew up with his kids, I know all 3 of them and the youngest has been a friend of mine all our lives. Which is saying something. To know someone all your life and still be in touch and close to them is amazing. I treasure the fact that Bev has always been there. I have always been able to call her and talk to her, she knows a lot about me, more than some. To think that she lost her dad at such a young age is devastating. She is handling it as well as anyone can expect. The wake is tonite and the funeral is on Friday at JB since he is going to be cremated. Its just so sad, he was still so young...
As far as the rest of life, its going, I spent Friday night with Bev at her place to be there for her, they had funeral arrangements to make on Saturday, and then Sunday was more prepping to get things taken care of for her.
We took care of our friends 3 Great Danes while they were in Dallas this weekend, so we did a lot of running around. We took the kids to see Lion King at the MegaScreen. Which they absolutely loved, as did hubby and I. We found some beauitful wild daisies and decided to stop and get some pics of them and of the kids, I will try and get them uploaded as soon as possible. We had to get some stuff for hubbies latest business trip. This time he went to Phoenix and will be there til late Friday night. The kids and I dropped him off at the airport at the gruesome hour of 6:30 this morning. Needless to say I have CRABBY kids that hate to be woke up so dang early. The rest of my week consists of going to a wake, taking care of kids, funeral on Friday, and if I am up to it a football game that my brother is going to be in. He is playing my old high school, so a girlfriend and I may go to that Friday night, then to pick up the hubby at the airport afterwards.
Ok, well I am off to get my clothes ready for tonite, to get other things taken care of before I have to leave, I will work on those pics and get them up as soon as I can. I am sure I will be posting again in the next couple of days...
