Family News Update

[la_samtyr]

After a great deal of very serious introspection, to say nothing of numerous phone calls to family, I have reluctantly decided not to go to the funeral. Things are calmer now (for the time being anyway), and I don't think I could be of any real help. Plus w/the extended family, in-laws and everything, there are over 100 family members just in the local Omaha area. Plus when I spoke to my Aunt Lee, she said how relieved she was to know I wouldn't be driving in this bad weather. Ulp! Talk about mind-reading! (All of my mom's family seem to do that though, it gets a bit unnerving at times.) So yeah, there's not much point in going down because even if I did show up, she'd just worry about me driving back. The weather is cold right now but decent enough, though the forecasts say it's going to get bad. And I have things ordered enough so that the furkids can make do overnight if need be. But... *sigh* I will go down at a later date though, when the weather is nicer. Weirdly, *last* weekend was *nice*; I could have driven down there and back w/o any problem, and no worrying for the Aunties.

Sad details follow.

So now it is time for me to send cards and write letters to my aunt and Mark's mom. I feel so terribly, terribly sorry for her. There is talk that she will sell her home and move, for she was the one who found him; he was in the bathroom and had used a gun. Poor tortured soul! May he find the peace that eluded him in life.

Sweet lord. I knew someone who did that :(

This is the most difficult thing to deal with, I've come to believe, and I wish all the best to you and your family and especially to his mother *more hugs*

I'm so very very sorry. He must have been so desperately unhappy. And to find your child like that..I hardly have words for something so horrifying. :(

Thinking of you and your family.
