Hi everyone, I know I have been gone for a long time!!!
It is just that I can't post from work anymore, and I am not in much of a state after the kids are in bed.....
I have been going to work, and/or keeping mom company since dad passed away. Explaining dad's passing to the kids was an interesting effort; DS thinks Grampa is on a planet further away than Pluto (BTW, We are firmly in support of Mickey's Dog at our home... He STILL HAS A PLANET NAMED AFTER HIM) The kids are both so cute, they will tell people that "Grampa Died".
How has this changed me? well, my work really hasn't changed; I am still sort of family but not informed management (for those of you who were around when I married RRBB, he didn't fix what he did to me...) I am more needed, so at least for the next while I will be around. I am going to focus on taking care of MOM. I need to stick around and make sure that she doesn't get depressed, lonesome, and stuffed into an old folks home. I also need to be at the office for security.
As far as me personally, I haven't really had the time to mourn. I think it will hit me while we are in WDW on the week of the 8th. I am making a conscious effort to call my parents friends by their first name.
Let's see, others effects on me; my brothers have control of most things work/family (other than my household) related; I am still paying for things that the estate should pay for personally. I am not in control of the funds.
I am still on my strange diet, and I came down with a nasty croupy cough after the funeral...Trying to get better...
At any rate, I just want to give all of you a big hug!!!!!!
Sorry for the ramble, but I just wanted to talk....
As I tell my DS and DD "Sweet Dreams, Happy Dreams!!!!!"
