Went to chapel on Tuesday and this was the sermon. It was interesting that the subject was death, as my dad called later in the day and told me that my Grandpa on my mom's side had passed away the night before from a brain anurism. Sudden and unexpected.
So the last twenty four hours has been a flury of coordinating with family out west about coming east, figuring out WHEN I'm going to get papers and finals done, going to work, trying not to loose it when people casually ask how my weeks been, figuring out when the funeral is, trying to remember to eat, etc.
Special thanks to all my friends at school and co workers who have been so understanding and compassionate the last 24 hours. I'm pretty sure I've been acting wacky. An odd mixture of stress, focus, and simply trying to blow off through swapping stupid humerous stories.
Am off to try and get four book reports done. Am drowning my sorrows in a cup of delicious cardamum-infused black tea from the iraqi store with whole milk and sugar.
Praying for you and your family. I understand how hard it is to lose a family member when you are miles away. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. ~Suzanne
