Have you ever had that feeling that everything that can go wrong has?
This morning, the hospital where my grandfather is recovering from colon cancer surgery calls & tells me that I need to get there ASAP there is a problem. I am three hours away from them, so I throw kids in the jeep & we take off. Fifteen minutes later I get another phone call telling me that he's dead. No explanation, no nothing other than "We did all we could but he passed away." He was supposed to be released from the hospital today because he was doing so well. When I got to the hospital, noone would speak to me. I had the medical power of attorney, so I was the person who they were supposed to speak to, yet they refused to tell me anything. It took three phone calls from my attorney before I was told that he went into cardiac arrest. Nothing else, just cardiac arrest. I am still in shock. I talked to him last night, & he was so happy to be going home.
Because my day wasn't going well enough, I found out, this afternoon, that a very close family friend died today as well. He was in a freak accident, & died. He was only 23.
I feel like I am struggling to hold it together. My family lost a very close family friend, & my best friend in April, & now this. If you have any spare good thoughts, my family would really appreciate it.
