Get your house in order...

Before going on with this post be advised it is a bit emotion and will most likely stir up lots of thoughts but please continue one...

... On Tuesday Feb 22 2011 a man that I met in High School and since then I have considered to be my grandpa left this earth and passed on. Of course there is the initial sadness and emotion but this death was unlike no other that I have dealt with yet. I have been apart of the family like I said since high school so the very next morning I went to go check on mom and make sure she was doing okay and to offer my condolences and support. Since she was handling everything and I was there for her I felt like I was handling everything indirectly. Usually when someone passes unless you are the spouse or immediate next of kin....you hear about the death....send your condolences....and show up to the memorial services. You don't see the "behind the scene" occurrences. Yesterday I was "behind the scenes" I went to the funeral home to do a walk through. I was there when all the phone calls were made to cancel things and notify people and end his chapter in this world. Being the person having to do all this sort of puts a hold on the mourning process. I am so glad that I could be there for mom yesterday and offer my help even if it's just moral support but it does make you think. If I was to leave this earth today would someone be able to locate all the necessary paperwork to cancel everything. Would this be something they can handle without going crazy trying to figure out everything? Is there a will in place?
This is just something that is on my mind and needed to share and vent.

...until next time

Has winter ended??

Connecticut was hit hard this winter with tons and tons of snow. Although this is New England and snow is what we expect the past few years have been a walk in the park. However this year immediately after Christmas snow came and it kept on coming. Every single week we had a storm and some weeks we had more then 1 storm. I stopped keeping track but last total was 71.1 inches. However we have gone longer then a week without another storm and its been so warm out (slightly above 30degrees lol). I am beyond ready for Spring time and this Friday its suppose to be 60 degrees out. Time to go shopping ;-)

Ill try to post some snow pictures later on

Until next time...stay smiling
