These past 4 days I have got nothing but sad news. On Thursday I got a phone call saying one of my very good friends' wife died in a car accident. Her funeral is tomorrow.
Then on saturday morning I got a call from another friend saying she was getting a divorce.
It wasn't 20 mintues later I got the worst one so far. "Kassi, it's uncle rick. You need to come up to the hospital, grandma is dieing." She died last night at 12:20 a.m.

I'm crushed. I have done nothing but cry over the past 18 hours. She was the best! Every thanksgiving and christmas she would make special cookies just for me, I know I'm too old for that but I'm spoiled what can I say! She would make these beautiful christmas stockings for every new person in our family with our names in them. I was her only granddaughter.

I know this isn't the place for this but I need to vent to someone. Tony has been in Georgia the past few days on vacation so I've been going through all this by myself. Tony is on his way home now.

Anyway, thanks for letting my vent a little. I hope everyone else's weekend wasn't as crappy as mine.

Kassi,

Truely sounds like a reall tough time the past several days. I wished there was something I cold do to make it better. My thought go out to you.
 
That's terrible. Too much to handle at once. Be strong and you'll get through this OK:thumbup:
 
So sorry, that is alot to handle. Keep in mind all the happy times, it will be okay in time.
 
Kassi,

My prayers are with you this morning. Sounds as though your grandma lived a long and full life and had much love for and from all her family. Find peace that she is with God now and looking down on you with that same love. Mourning is something we can't seem to help, but rejoice for she is where we all hope to be someday. I will remember you both at mass this morning.

The catharsis will really start when you all get together and start talking about all the great times you all had with her.
 
I'm so sorry. My family's prayers are with you. Stay strong....you will get through this.
 
Kassi, you and your family are in our prayers this day. God will give us strength to get through these times.

Keep family and friends with you all your days.

god bless
 
You will be in our prayers for the next few weeks. Remember and cherish the good times like Progunner said. Those sound like good memories,thanks for sharing.
 
my best wishes for you at this time. Remember those you love and who love you have spent and created the very best memories to carry you forward. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, Jack
 
My prayers are with you, I know it dosent seem like it, but this too will heal with time. Stay strong and trust God to take care of you and yours. Jim
 
Kassi,
Stay strong, focus on family, especially the young, That's the cycle of life.
I'll tell you something, please do not take this wrong, it's not 0neupmanship, I'm simply telling you because I understand your loss. Last week-end we lost a son in-law at 33 from cancer. He leaves behind 2 great sons 13 & 12 and 2 beautiful daughters 7 & 6. On top of that another son in-law flew to New York city for treatment for cancer caused by asbestos. He's 33 and has a fine boy. Those 3 boys are with me and my wife this week-end. My wife also lost her favorite uncle( she never had a dad so he was the father figure) four weeks ago and her sister's husband was just diagnosed with colon cancer. So needless to say she is somewhat out of sorts.
I've been a bit behind in a lot of what I do but I stay focused on the kids and the future. Death is the ugly part of life but a part neverless. Think about those who lose their life in totally unjust situations like what happens in other parts of the world every day. Best wishes.

Dan, it is one thing for someone who is up there in years to leave us, since at least they had a good long life, however, for someone so young (33 years) to leave behind young children is tragic. My prayers go out to you and your family.
