I just found out at 3pm that my dad died sometime between 11am - 2pm. He died in his sleep from a heart attack, we initally thought it was his ulcer and we didn't even know he had heart issues besides a slightly elevated blood pressure.
He was only 63 years old. His mother died the same way, after having her 3rd stroke. His mother died though at 84yrs old, his father died when he was 53yrs old of Cancer.
His viewings are Wed, Thurs, Fri of this week. I don't know how I'll even go. I mean I will go, but I don't think I will be able to "say goodbye" at the casket.
My family and I were never uber close but my parents and I were close enough. They had their issues but I knew my dad loved me and that he adored my mom.
My parents would have been married 30 years next month (or was it August? i forget) and have been together about 35 years.
I always told myself that i wouldn't cry if my parents died because in my head i "expected" it because of their drug habbit and their already poor health.
I kinda expected my brother or mother to die first, not being mean but they are in the poorest of health. My brother has Hepatitus C and bad kidneys, smokes and does pills and drugs of all kind. My mother has Epilepsy, and just over all bad health.
I got the call just before I was supposed to pick up my son from school. Thought it was him getting back to me after I called at 1:30pm. I was just about to say, "Hey no-mind what's up?" an inside joke we always kidded about when we talked but then I heard my brother's voice and my husband saying, "WHAT?!".... so I was like, "Uh, hello?" and my brother told me. Needless to say, I had to hang up for an hour to get my stuff together before I could talk to anyone.
Its been a long day.....
To top it off my ex-MIL had the nerve to bitch at my husband when he called to ask her to pick up my daughter from school... "Why couldn't you call sooner?!" she yelled at him...
Well pardon me bitch if I didn't know my dad died until 3pm, next time he dies I'll ask him to send a memo ahead of time to not inconvience your beer binge.... is what I wanted to say but i kept my mouth shut.
To top it off my son has been acting up all day, more so than normal. Just being outright bad. Telling everyone that he wishes they would die just because they won't give him things or they make him mad...
I got a headache
