A death in the family

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

I received a call Monday night at 10:30 from my grandma. I quickly realized something was wrong by the tone of her voice. As I heard my mom sobbing in the background, my grandma told me that she and my mom were at the hospital, and my mom’s husband (my step-dad) had died from a massive heart attack at the age of 51. On their wedding anniversary, no less.

It’s hard to know how to react in a situation like that. My mom was too hysterical to talk with, but I called my brother to let him know, and we both rushed down from Lawrence to Wichita to see her.
It’s been a turbulent couple of days, but I wasn’t really emotionally involved until tonight.
