glad to see 2005 go ...

I can't remember ever finishing a year out so badly . As you all know my grandmother passed away on December 19th . She had been ill for a while then she contracted pneumonia which caused her heart to give out . That was a hard time for my family with her death being so close to christmas and all . We were all happy that she wasn't suffering anymore but still we had the usual seperation to deal with . The day after my grandmother passed , my husband , my two youngest kids and I spent most of the day in bed sick with the worst stomach virus I have ever had . On Thursday December 22nd we buried my grandmother next to my grandfather who had been gone since 1986 . The next day my papaw , my dad's dad and my only living grandparent , had to be rushed to the emergency room because no one could get him awake and he was bleeding out of his mouth .

My papaw had just had to have a partial amputation done on his right leg in November . Thankfully he didn't have pneumonia but he did have staff infection in his leg from the surgery . The doctors kept saying that papaw was coming home in a few days but Friday night his heart started failing and at 6:15 yesterday morning he passed away . I didn't even know that his heart had started failing the night before so when my mom called and woke us up at 7am to tell us the news, I was a bit shocked I guess you could say . I have broke down in front of my husband a couple of times but other than that I feel very numb . Tomorrow evening from 6 to 8 were are having the recieving friends and then on Tuesday we will have the funeral at 2 and then bury him . It is all so final to me right now, I mean we buried my grandmother not even two weeks ago and three weeks ago I had two grandparents , one on each side , now I have NONE . I keep trying to tell myself that we knew it was coming but it seems a bit too sudden to me .

This past Wednesday I attended two funerals , one was my papaws brother and the other was my close friends mother-in-law. What is up with all the death? I have to admit that I didn't like my great-uncle but out of respect for his family I made an appearance . I hope this post didn't bring anyone down because that is not my intent . I just needed to vent a bit and I didn't want the kids to hear me venting . Thanks all !
