Here's my rant for the day. As I sat here earlier today reading through some of the posts my phone rang, my wife answered and with in 15 seconds she was a basket case. My sister-in-law was en-route to the hospital with a heart attack. Two minutes later the phone rang again and this time the news was exactly what you're thinking it would be. She had passed on. 39 years old. Started as an asthma attack and went into cardiac arrest. She had been ill for quite some time (pulmonary related stuff) but we just weren't looking for this to happen so soon. My wife has been through hell.... lost her grandmom in 98, her mom in 99, her dad in 2000, her kid sister was shot in the head in Dec (survived and making a miracle recovery) and now this. Man, I'm telling ya, this woman is stronger than I ever thought anyone could be.
just in case you're wondering what the hell I'm doing here in a time like this...... it's a bit of down time right now and as bad as it sounds the folks on this board are the closest thing to a social life I have and it relaxes me (most of the time) to be here.
Thanks Tess for the "rant room" Good idea.
