All things happen for a reason. I am really thankful that we came back to NY now, so the Tween had a chance to get to know her grandma. XH's family is very unemotional, but I also know that they did have a chance to bond a little bit. I am glad XH got a chance to spend time with his mother because had this happened when we were still living in Texas, I am not even sure how he would have been able to get back here for the funeral.
We are on our way over to XH's now so he and I can break the news to her. We didn't want to tell her before she went to school this morning. And since it is his mother, he needs to tell her, and she needs to be there with him right now.
This whole thing was very quick, she suffered a stroke on Tuesday and her body could not handle the damage from it. She was not very old, only 66, and other than diabetes was in relatively good health. Her sister had been staying with her, and had her sister not found her, no one would have had the chance to say goodbye.
My heart breaks...the last year has just held too much death.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
