As I mentioned in my previous post , my papaw passed away on Saturday . And as you know , my grandmother passed away on December 19 . Okay here goes the "you're not going to believe me" part , my papaw had three brothers and one sister . One of the brothers passed away , due to cancer , about five years ago . On December 26 , 2005 one of the other brothers passed away , which this is the one that I mentioned in the previous post that I didn't like very well . Then on Saturday December 31,2005 my papaw passed away due to heart failure . This morning as we were getting ready to go to my papaws funeral and burial my phone rang . It was my mom and she called to tell me that my papaws last remaining brother passed away at one o'clock this morning , loosing his 15 year battle with Alzhiemers . Can you believe this? Now the only one of my papaws siblings still living is his only sister . I can't imagine how that woman feels . I am going to go over and visit with her tomorrow just to see if she needs anything and make sure she is okay .
Everybody says death comes in threes but we are on four if you want to count family and five if you want to add friends , so what now ? When I called to tell my husband that my great-uncle had passed away I told him he better hurry up and get a divorce because at this point anyone related to me or any of my family was doomed . hehe , I know that was probably lame but I needed a laugh at the time .
I am just physically and mentally drained and I don't think I could cry anymore if my life depended on it because I have cried myself into a huge headache today .
Please don't think that I am wanting pity , I'm not . I just need to vent a bit more .
I really appreciate all of your kind words on my previous post . I love y'all , you're the best blogger friends anyone could ever have and I feel honored to have you all as friends . Right now I am feeling a bit better spiritualy than I was before because I know that my papaw is where he wanted to be . I know he is in Heaven and I bet he is having a good ole time with all those that went before him . However, the flesh and blood side of me isn't getting on as easy as my spiritual side . I think a couple days of rest and relaxation will help me a bit because I haven't rested well in over two weeks .
I hope each and every one you have a wonderful evening ! *HUGS*

When it rains it floods huh? :-) I've had something similar to this happen a while back. When hubb-z & I got married he hadn't been but to 1 funeral and that was his Grandfather's. I told him because I have a very big family on both sides to be prepared because it seemed we had more deaths than family reunions. And with me he has been to lots of funerals. Come to think of it myabe that's why we stopped having the traditional reunions because of the funerals. *giggles* Sick sounding I'm sure but in hopes to make ya giggle just a little. Thinkin of you & your family..
Thank you Kali ! My moms side of the family is very large and we have more funerals than reunions as well so I know where you are coming from there . I am still praying for you mom too ! :)
