My dear wife is in Ohio now, I am sure there will be a flow of emotions amongst her and her siblings. I am also finding out that my Uncle Benny is in the hospital in critical condition, he has fluids in his lungs and they may have to do surgery to remove a portion if it won't clear up.
The kids and I are doing fine, I am a bit tired yet from getting up at 3am after only a couple hours of dozing. I did get an hour nap in though. I will be doing the 3am thing again Tuesday when we head out.
I usually don't get to emotional, crying isn't a man thing typically and I am no exception. When I find myself wanting to share the emotional grief, I find myself supressing it. It is hard to right now when I hear my sister-in_law talk to me and I can hear voice voice filled with grief and my wife has had to use my shoulder more than once.
I am so proud of my wife, she will be selflessly taking care of her mother around the clock at home. She intends to stay until there is no more need of her services. I am conflicted by the idea that I want my wife home as soon as possible, yet I want her to have as long as she needs with her mother. For those who understand, that 10% we have been putting away is a blessing right now.
The girls here will be of great help while there Mom is away I can count on that. At least we will be out there with her and her side of the family for 4 days. I hope for the kids that grandma will be in good spirits so that they will have a positive last visit.
