I have been meaning to post - most of last week. But last week just wasn't a good week. I'm at work right now and should be working, just not feeling the motivation. I think I am going to ask to work from home tomorrow. I'm having a tough time talking to people or concentrating on work.
My cousin Tim lost his 6 week old daughter last week to SIDS. I can only imagine the heartache of something like that. One minute they are fine, a bit cranky, but they go to sleep... then they just don't wake up. There is not much anyone can really do, which makes it even more sad - that helpless feeling.
Also last week, my Nana didn't do so well. I believe that it wasn't so much her Alzheimer's as it was too much pain medication. She had 2 bottles of the same pain med that told her to take 1 pill 3 times a day. We think that she was taking 6 a day. With her lack of eating properly and her size, that is probably what triggered the events of last week - getting lost, not remembering her middle name, calling people in the middle of the night. Her doctor has now put her into a Retirement home. She did like this one, but I don't think she was quite ready to go.
On Friday, my step-mom called me. My Grandma had passed away. She went peacefully. I know she is better off where she is - and now she is with both of her husbands, my Daddy, Aunt Nancy, Jamie, Uncle Dick, Aunt Mary, Aunt Mildred, her parents, and others she loved who went before her. It is kinda odd because I was thinking about her last week - thinking about the peanut butter candy. Every weekend I make the gravy that I learned from her (actually, my Mom taught me after Grandma taught her) that was my Dad's favorite. In fact, I made it for my Dad on his last birthday when he was here in Phoenix.
Anyway, here are a few pix of some who I love and miss so much! I'm sorry Grampa Charlie but I can't find a picture of you on my computer! :(
