my grandfather passed away early this morning. it was expected; in fact, he was supposed to pass away two years ago…what a fighter!? anyway, his memorial service is tomorrow evening, and i will be out traveling a lot the next few days.
i will be leaving dallas at 6:30 am monday morning and have a layover in kansas city for three hours (so if any of my old kc friends want to come party at the awesome KCI, i will be there from 8 am to 11 am…just call or email me!)? then it’s off to LAX where i pick up a car and drive to san diego (it is much cheaper to do that than to fly into SD).? then the memorial service, sleep, and leaving SD tuesday morning at 9:30 am to head back into LA where i hope to catch up with some old friends and maybe…just maybe…meet mr. carlos whittaker face to face…
tuesday night i crash on a couch of the generous martinez family, and wake up early for my 6:40 am flight back to dallas.? i get back in dallas at 1:30 pm and head into work to send some stuff to print!? whew!
(i think i really typed all this out so i can know what i’m doing and if i forget i can check my blog…)
aside all the crazy/hectic aspects, please keep my family in your prayers as many of us are traveling to and fro, and that we will be able to give my grandfather the wonderful and sweet memorial he deserves.
he was the first guy to give me a really “girly” outfit (i was a tomboy) and always encouraged me to show my feminine side (now, i am a bit too girly, but i thank him for that).? he would always bring me books when he would visit and we’d go on walks together.? he was a very sweet man, who became a christian in his late 80’s.
thanks for your thoughts and prayers…
