Unbelievable.. but the day after I posted that, got a tearful call from my Mom... and my Great Uncle had died too! He was about the same age as my grandma so it wasn't a total shock but he hadn't been ill or anything. My poor Mom.. lost her Mom early last year, and in the space of a week lost her brother and only remaining extended family she had.
All I can say is I hope the "bad things come in 3s" is over and the rest of the year is much better!!
I do plan to post more very soon. Unfortunately I'm sick right now and barely able to get enough energy to get my work done (and no real option to "not" work for a few days, especially with more layoffs looming over our heads..ugh). But I will post more soon.
Doc - to answer your question the relative is on my Mom's side (thank goodness, at least she has SOMEthing positive going on!). haha I like the slogans.. will have to think about those!
Hugs to everyone!!
