sad goodbyes

today my heart hurts again, but for VERY different reasons.

shauns mother passed away on friday. it was very quick, and VERY unexpected.
she'd had brochitis the week before, but didn't seem to be getting any better. she and i talked about it one day, and chalked it up to the fact that she had diabetes, and she was older. never suspecting the truth.
this thursday, she got tired of being cooped up, and des took her out for a drive. when they got back, shaun was helping her out of the car, and she passed out in his arms. des decided to take her up to the hospital, so we put her back in the car.
they did testing, and discovered that she had a massive blood clot in her heart (the entire bottom half, was one big clot). her heart was unable to beat correctly. they tried everything, but were unable to save her. he passed away shortly after midnight on friday.

the days since then have been a blur. on top of mom passing away, i have sick kids.

the funeral is set for tomorrow at 11am.
