Ok here it is in a nutshell.
Yesterday I found out my dad had been to the hospital, dies and had been buried because my sister just happened to read the obituaries. I find out all this in about a minute and a half! A lot to take in. I am still in shock!
We had been estranged from him (my 2 sisters and I) for about 6 years. He drank heavily and had spent our entire lives doing things and making decisions that hurt us deeply.
It did not mean we DIDN"T LOVE HIM.
So we were able to find out where his "new family" buried him. Just a note. We were not listed in his obituary. His step children were listed as his children.
We will find out his cause of death today when we pick up a death certificate. I need closure.
You would have thought someone could have let us know he was ill, in the hospital, had died, and where and when the funeral was?????
We did put flowers and a card on his grave. No one can take away the fact that we are his dds and we loved him..period.
SO...I just made tuna last night!
Also I will be gone taking my dd to college Sat-Monday so I will not post cooking and menues and costs until probably Tuesday.
Thanks for listening to me ramble. My heart is broken and I am a mess.
