Bad News
Well, knew it was coming... Dad died this morning. Well, we think this morning. He was found on the couch this morning at about 930. I had to go and make funeral arrangements and the like today. Good news is, the funeral isn't until Monday, so we'll leave for Kansas City after the baby shower on Saturday. I moved my ultrasound from monday to friday, so I'll have that before we go. He really didnt have anything done, but he had talked with the funeral home people we went through and had elected for "The Box" to be buried in. We kept all his other wishes, but we did acutally buy him a coffin. I couldnt bury him in something that I was looking for the nike swoosh on the side of.
So sorry about your loss, but he's at peace now with God. You've had more than your share of heartache. I pray for you a brighter future with the arrival of your little bundle of joy. I would love to make it down for the shower but won't be able to make it. I'd like to send a little gift card if you could e-mail me your address when you have time. No matter how prepared we think we are funerals are always hard. You be sure to take care of yourself first these next few days.
Alos, my mother in law was good enough to buy us plane tickets to get out there. However, Chris just told me that our flight leaves at 430. So I prolly will need to head out of there by about 3. I'm so sorry, and if I could change that, I would, but she's already bought them apparently, so I can't change it.
Dar, Im so sorry to hear about your dad. I know u knew it was coming but that can never be an easy thing to deal with. I hope things at least go smoothly as possible for you this weekend. I have to work so Im sorry I cant make your shower. I sent a baby book with Carmen to give to you... I hope u enjoy reading it.
Take care of yourself and that baby
