Well, I’ve had a heck of a week. My Granddad’s wife, Marilyn, died on Wednesday the 13th. My Dad and his brother were coming to town for Father’s Day, so I was already planning to go to KC for Father’s Day. I didn’t realize that I would spend most of the week trying to get things in order so that I could be gone all weekend.
Her memorial service was yesterday (Monday the 18th) and it was a very nice service. She had been sick for a long time, but I never realized how sick she was because she was only 68. Way too young. The nice thing that came out of all of this was meeting my Granddad’s only living sister and two of her children. My dad also had another cousin in attendance. It was nice to finally meet these family members. The seeds were sown for a McClellan family reunion. I would really love to if they had one.
I’m exhausted and I have LOTS of homework for my SSLS 888 class. I leave tomorrow morning for Reno for the AAFCS annual conference. My Granddad also goes in for surgery tomorrow to remove his melanoma. With the surgery and everything, this trip will be bittersweet.
Nico’s home this week and he’s going to take care of all the animals and hopefully work on the bathroom project.
Hopefully, my next post will be good news about my trip.
