This week has been a rough one. Saturday, a good man who my husband knew really well passed away. His kids and grandkids and great grand daughter are friends of ours. Tuesday was his viewing and wake. I couldn't go to the viewing but met up with my husband afterwards for the wake.
While there i received a text message from my father that Hospice who had been called in earlier in the day for my Nana (grandma in Louisiana) was most likely not going to be with us much longer. Tuesday March 19th at about 9:20 central time Nana passed away.
Both of these people were amazing people, who had lived long lives. Both had been sick for a while, and had spouses who had passed before them. While letting them go is not easy, it's comforting to know that they are not in pain, not sick, and with their loved ones again.
Today I got to work, and as I entered the school saw teachers, parents and children crying. A 3rd grader at the school passed away last night. His older sister and cousin are in the same class as my client. I spent the morning with a group of crying, hurting kids and I'm barely keeping it together myself.
How much loss can be endured in one week?
All I want to do right now is go hug my daughter. I am so thankful to have her and my husband in my life. So thankful for my family both here and in Louisiana. I am so thankful for the wonderful friends that I have, whether i have known them my whole life or have just met them recently, they are a great blessing.
