Bad and Crazy Days

My Easter Break had something different happen every day.  One day there was new furniture, another day I went to help my brother with my niece and nephew, and Easter was rocky.  We almost had to cancel our plans and have a back up because my sister-in-law's grandmother was on her death bed.  My sister-in-law and her mother were at the hospital everyday; which is why I helped my brother with the kids since he had very little sleep that day.  I never saw my sister-in-law and her mother so exhausted and sad before.  They were also having different problems with the situation so nothing was easy for them.  They had issues trying to get a priest to come so close to Easter so they called the monsignor of my church and he was able to call someone in the area who could go to them since the hospital was kind of far.  The priest who went had really comforted them because he had also lost his mother just 3 weeks before and knew what they were going through.  Sadly though, she passed away Tuesday morning, but she was able to go peacefully in her sleep.  The wake is today and I have to go immediately after my last class.  The funeral will be tomorrow morning and everyone in my family, including myself, is involved in it in some way.  My sister-in-law has made herself feel better though to know that her grandmother is reunited with her grandfather now, who died aroung 50 years ago.  Her grandmother loved him so much that she never remarried or even tried to, even though they were married for only 10 years when he died.  She was fortunate though to have lived to the age of 95 and be able to see two great grandchildren born, especially since she did not have her son and daughter until her late 30s and at the age of 40.  From what I have seen and heard, she never took life for granted and always tried to have a good time.  I even have proof as I filmed her on last year's St. Patrick's Day doing the Irish jig at 94 even though she usually needed a can just to walk!!!
