For those of you not on the FB page, I'll C&P what I posted earlier today.
"Hey ladies, quick prayer request. My great aunt passed away in her sleep unexpectedly Monday night/Tuesday morning. She was only 67 and believed to be in good health. Services are Thursday. I have a TON of stuff going on in the lab that I shouldn't leave, but attending the services is important to me because she was very influential in my life. Can you please pray for my family as they're dealing with this and for me to be able to get out of here ASAP so I can be with my family? Thanks, ladies!"
So...a bit of an update.
I'm going to get to attend the services. I'm soo relieved. I had a sit down with my boss and supervisor before I left work today and they understood why I needed to be there and they were actually okay with me going. They think I've made good progress on my research and are pretty sure everything will be fine. Huge sigh of relief!
I've been on and off the phone with my mom and grandma today. Apparently she had breast cancer and no one told me. I'm so hurt. My little sister, my dad, my grandpa, everyone knew but me. I hung up on my mom when she first told me and didn't answer any of her calls until I was on my lunch break. They still haven't given me a good reason for why I wasn't told and I doubt there is one.
Anyway, if you could be praying for this giant mess, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to get to spend some time with FI before and after the funeral (he's taking the day off work to go as well...love that guy!) and I'm sure he'll let me vent and cry so I can get it all out.
