What a week!

We got a phone call last Thursday. It was after 11pm so as soon as the phone ring I was worried. We don't usually get calls that late. My husbands Dad had died if a massive heart attack. He had just got home from a mini vacation and had sat down in his recliner to rest. His wife had went across the street to get the mail from the neighbors house and when she came back in, she saw him and said he was already gone. She yelled for her neighbor to come help her and called 911. There was a nurse living across the street and he came over and administered CPR. He was taken to the hospital and worked on for 45 minutes, but it was just too late. The odd thing is that they stopped by Subway on the way home from their vacation. He ordered a big sub with triple the meat. The gal checkimg him out said, "this is going to give you a heart attack!" He died from a massive heart attack 3 hours later. Cue the twilight zone music!

My husband and I drive down first thing the next morning to help with arrangements. Then the viewing wasn't until Sunday and the funeral was on Monday. We stayed an extra ay to help his stepmom and just be there for her. 5 kids in that little hotel room wasn't so much fun! Actually- the kids were on their best behavior.

It was such a shock to lose him. Even though he didn't live real close, he still managed to come up and visit us and the kids and he talked to my husband all the time online!

I'm sure gonna miss your grumpy self Chad!! May you rest in peace.
