The Emotional Roller Coaster Week

I can’t believe it’s already Tuesday. My body thinks it’s still last Monday, where the heck did this week go? I don’t have too much energy to spill everything here so I will just give you a flyby of how my week went.

Lots of late nights left for very little sleep and some headaches, so that brings us to Friday, hahaha. Friday night I got together with the FabFour and went to dinner and a wine tasting for Layer Cake, one of our absolute favorite Australian wineries. It was so much fun that we didn’t want to leave and ended up watching the Backup Plan at Gieser’s and stayed up till 2am! It was reminiscent of the old GPhiB house days, what great times we had! I even bought a bottle of wine to enjoy in November, I am so excited!

Saturday the pumpkin and I went to the T.P kiddos birthday party and got some good sun, I had a wonderful time catching up with you ladies! I skipped the afternoon party I was supposed to go to and then that night we went out for Shannon’s birthday dinner and thank goodness we were home and in bed early!

My parents came over late Saturday evening to spend the night and Sunday we had a wonderful breakfast before they headed off to the hospital to see my uncle. We worked around the house and then got the call that they were removing life support and that the AZ family was heading our way to camp out at our house too. They arrived at midnight that night and needless to say I was sleeping so Monday morning I got to visit with them for a few minutes before I ran out the door to work.

So the big news is that my Uncle Danny was very ill and passed away mid morning Monday. He was born with a large hole in his heart and they assumed that his health was failing because of congestive heart failure but by Saturday they had no clue. He had a staph infection over 90% of his body and he just wasn’t improving. I visited a few times and he was in the Critical Care Unit and we have to gown up and wear masks to see him. He was unconscious, but it was good to go in there and say goodbye. Sunday his wife decided to remove his life support and by Monday he was home with the Lord. He was my dad’s older brother and it makes me so sad to see my dad go thru the pain of losing a sibling. My heart breaks for him. Uncle Danny you will be missed, your sweet smile, loving hugs and Disney knowledge always brought a smile to my face and warmth in my heart, we love you.
