Happy Early Thanksgiving?

I won't be back on for a while, so I hope everyone enjoys the holiday! We plan to travel to H's hometown for a few days, then when we get back I'll be in ultimate Christmas decorating mode. Hopefully.

And not to bring down the mood faster than sarah mclachlan in a commercial on animal planet, but could my family get some thoughts/prayers/warmfuzzies? Mom just called and said the hospice nurse gave my momaw--my dad's mom--between 16 hours and 3 weeks to live. She's been sick for some time and we were expecting it,so I'll be glad she doesn't have to suffer anymore, but I can't imagine what Dad is going through.

Ouch, Bunni! I'm sorry you had to get such somber news right before the holiday. I hope you have a safe trip to see your husband's family, and that it's a fun, happy and drama-free Thanksgiving for all.

I'lll keep good thoughts for you and yours and hope that Momaw is resting as comfortably as possible. I know from experience that it's hard to lose a grandparent at any time, even when it's expected - but it's also especially hard when we're adults, and we have to watch our parents watch their parents pass. All you can really do is let your dad know how sorry you are, and be there for him as best you can.

P.S. Those Sarah McLachlan commercials are SO so so sad.
