Today started out great. I had a really good workout at the gym. Pushed myself to finish my running even though I was pretty tired. I have been seeing the numbers on the scale drop, feeling good. Extra energy.
Jon is in CA for Maxine's funeral and I wanted to get the house nice and clean for his return.
Got a call from my Dad and didn't get to the phone in time because I was in the shower. Then Jen called and then Ang. Before talking to any of them I knew what they were going to say. My Aunt Kay passed away this morning. She had been suffering and trapped in a body that didn't allow her to enjoy life for a long time. Breast cancer, strokes, Parkinsons. You name it. So it is good that she has left that body behind.
Her kids seem to be dealing pretty well with it. I talked to Billy and he said he was excited for his mom. That she didn't have to suffer anymore.
I am very sad for my Dad. I can't imagine what it is like to lose a twin. Now he and my mom have both lost sisters.
And for my Grandma. I don't think it matters how old you are, you aren't supposed to out live your children.
So we went to Phoenix. And we spent the evening there to be with them. Annie and Jeanette were there, and Angela and her kids. It was nice to be together.
The funeral will probably be on Wednesday, but there are no set plans yet.
So tonight I am sad. Sad for my Dad. For my Grandma. Sad that my Hubby is away from home. So I am going to sleep.
