When attending an amusement park, I keep myself safely planted to the ground. I do not think that it was intended for humans (or at least this human) to be tossed about in the air, or going a million miles an hour while strapped into a tiny cart. Nope - not for me. But I've determined that I'm not a fan of the emotional roller coasters either.
K's brother passed away 2 weeks ago after a long battle with a rare lung disease. Even after a double lung transplant in 2005, he did ok for a while, but then last year the lungs started to reject and he spent the last year very sick. Although, it was very sad, it's comforting to know that he is not suffering anymore. He's definitely in a better place, so it's more that we are sad for his wife and children that are left to piece their lives back together. My SIL's life for so long has been taking care of P, that now she's not sure what to do. The funeral was last week and we spent 3 days in Edmonton for it. It's such a strange situation to go from crying (or comforting those around you) to then laughing about a funny story that someone would tell about P to then going back to sadness..... exhausting to say the least.
So, now that the funeral and all that comes with that is done, my SIL is left to figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Whether to move. Find a job. Get her bills in order. So she is coming for a visit this weekend to that we can help her to get organized. It's a crappy subject all the way around, but it's nice to know that we are some what helpful.
If anything, this situation really made me thankful that I have K and I told him he was never allowed to die. Doubtful that he'll be able to keep that promise, but hopefully he'll be able to keep it for many many many years to come.
