Today sucks.

This morning we got the call that my H's grandma passed away.  I am so grateful he went to see her one last time on Wednesday.  He held her hand and talked to her and cried and while she was unable to talk or even really look at him, she did squeeze his hand.  He'll never regret going. 

My sister just came over and told me she's moving (with her H and my nephew who is 6mo younger than Emery) in 5 weeks to Vancouver WA.  I'm so sad about it, so, so sad.

Re: Today sucks.

  • My condolences to YH and his family. I hope all of you are comforted by the fact that she lived a long life, leaving at least 3 great grandchildren.
    I'm sorry about your sister and her family moving away. While it doesn't replace together time, with Skype and face time you can 'see' each other every day.

  • So sorry for your loss. I'm so glad YH got to see her and say goodbye.
    That sucks about your sister too. I'm sure you'll miss seeing her.

  • Creepy internet stranger hug. Family departing is so tough. I hope you get some amazing news soon to banish the sads. What do you need until then? Gifs? Cartoons? Cute cats?

  • :(  I'm so sorry to hear about your H's grandma.  And your sister moving away!  You pretty much summed it up - it sucks.  My thoughts are with you and your fam.

  • I'm so sorry, hun. Below is  a link to fifteen cat hugging gifs. Being far away from my sister is bleeding hard, not going to lie. But we talk every day, text a thousand times a day and do facetime every Sunday. It helps but I know it's not the same. I miss my nieces and nephews almost as much as if they were my one children so I get it. So sorry about DH's grandma. How special that he got to be with her one last time. Hugs, friend.

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • Thanks so much ladies.  Your words really help me feel a little better, thank you.

    @baker_bride, I wondered what your take would be on the sister thing since you've lived it, only the opposite of me.  The thing that makes it the hardest is that I have waited so long for her to have kids..and then she did and our little ones are so close.  I always compare Emery and Elliot to Joaquin and Avalin and was so glad Emery would have him since he's our last and so much younger than our older two.  I'll get used to the idea, but it stings right now.  Sads.  I do have two other sisters here but they are both single and kidless.

  • And @mofree, she did live a long life and she has 14 great grandchildren.  We were lucky to see her often, at least 3x year and always went to visit and stay with her near Branson.  And I know where she has gone, so that is a blessing.

  • Is your sister planning a permanent move or does she anticipate moving back one day? I guess since my ultimate goal is to at least move back to the Midwest if not Chicago, it's not as bad.

  • I guess that is an option but her H has never been content here and has always wanted to get out. He got a job there at the same place their good friends just got a job at a year ago.
