I finished up all my ‘stuff‘ last night a little earlier than usual was and was feeling pretty smug in the comfort of already having had my shower and being camped in a position on the couch that alleviated most of my back pain. We were watching a movie [whose name already escapes me and I’m too lazy to Google it] was just starting to get half way decent when my phone went off. Because my phone rarely ever rings, I tend to answer it when it does. It ‘pings’ all the time and I admittedly have become quite complacent about not even looking at it when it does (pings). By the time I managed to hit the pause button on the remote, found one [weirdly] missing flip flop and waddled my big, old, fat nash over to the table where my phone was, it had quit ringing. Pulling up the information, I saw where it was my Nephew [Alex] that I hear from occasionally. He is also my number one source of intel on my little Sister Leta [his Mom] and how she is doing. If you know me, or follow this blog any, you know my Sister Leta has had a tough road to hoe when it comes to her health. In all fairness, I personally think she she brought a lot of her issues on her self and I would routinely would ‘grind‘ on her about it. I figured she had did something else stupid to make her health take a turn for the worse and Alex was just keeping me up on the newest events. The second I heard the tone of his voice, I knew that was not the case……. I wasn’t quite ready for this….. during her afternoon nap, my Sister Leta passed away from an apparent heart attack in her sleep.
The next 18 hours are kind of a blur. I was supposed to sleep last night…… I was supposed to dive today (3 dives)…… neither of those happened……. I don’t remember a whole lot else…… just a messed up kind of day…. I knew I shouldn’t be underwater today….. seems liked I worked on the kitchen door for a little bit….. I did some grass mowing….. I knew that was gonna need done before we leave…. so that’s done… door is fixed….. got plane tickets, a car reserved…. I think we’re about ready…… We will be coming in late Thursday the 15th. We don’t have to many other details right now….. but we’re moving forward. Slowly. Because the most important details have been taken care of now….. I can relax a little bit. I’m gonna get in a couple of dives before we go back…….. some type of normalcy before the craziness of the end of the week commences……
Alex has not put anything on social media about his Mom passing yet, so please do NOT mention anything about this to me on social media yet (FB, IG, Twitter, or any of those others)…. Thank you— Posts here will probably get more seldom as this week wears on….. bear with me~~~
Good Night Y’all _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Thankx for stopping in~!
