I'm on page 1287 only so I have some reading to do but I just thought I'd share what happened this weekend. It was our Christmas weekend with my family coming to spend the weekend at our place. We had a sleigh ride and did the turkey, etc... All was well, except then DD got sick. Every half hour for twelve hours... (of course, this was overnight) ... She seemed fairly dehydrated by morning, so I took her to emergency and sure enough they put her on an IV. We just got home and she's sleeping but feeling alot better. Just a bit weak...
While at the hospital, my DH called to say that our friends from last year's cruise (and that we were planning to cruise with this Christmas) called and told us that her husband passed away suddenly last week. I can't believe it and am still in shock! We talk to them every Saturday but missed last Saturday because we were out of town ... I haven't told DD yet because I know she's going to be devastated and thought she should get a bit stronger first so that she can call her friend (their DD is really good friends with my DD - they were inseparable last year and were so looking forward to spending this cruise together)... I feel so sad for them and helpless...
Well, I'll try to catch up on the posts while DD is still snoozing...
