2 deaths in the family

Thanks for missing me. I will post again SOON! Things have been odd here.

My aunt, who was the only daughter of my grandparents and my dad's only sister, died suddenly at the age of 59, while out of state. It was VERY hard on my very elderly grandparents. There were a lot of delays in getting her body shipped here (did you know you must file a death certificate with EVERY state you fly over?) and so it was a full week before the funeral. That week was horrible.

Three days after the funeral, my uncle who has been dieing with cancer for a long time, passed away. His wife had already made all arrangements and his was so quick we almost didn't have time to sit down. He died on Tuesday. Wednesday was family visitation. Thursday was the funeral.

So yeah.........things have not been normal here. Thanks for missing me.

On top of all of that, my kids have achievement testing this week (we homeschool) and I'm busy with that. BUT I will try to post very soon! My next 2 posts are planned to be: #1 The skirt post and #2 A weight loss milestone :)

  7. Sorry about the deaths that you've been dealing with. ((( hugs ))) Didn't know about the death certificates, but I have heard that it isn't easy to bring a body back, even costly sometimes.
    Hope your end-of-year school stuff goes well, lots of ends to wrap up. DD here only has math to finish and we're done HSing forever. Feels good but very strange and sad too.
