It's technically his step-grandmother, but he knew her all his life. She fell out of the shower sometime after Thursday (when Coal's uncle last spoke to her). The uncle found her body on Saturday. We're waiting for the autopsy report to find out what happened. We just hope she didn't fall and lay there for a long time in pain. She had one of the strongest faiths I've ever witnessed, so I know dying wouldn't have been that scary for her. When she got to talking about heaven, she started making me wish for brake failure on the way home, so I won't have to wait so long!
Also, Coal's first gun-dog Jake died 2 weeks ago. He had been sick and was pretty old. He just laid down and didn't get up again. He was alive Wednesday morning when Coal left for the mud farm and was dead when I got home that afternoon and went to feed the dogs. He looked peaceful. I figure Roxie is next. She loses her balance easily.
Other than that, my job is still going well. So is Coal's. He gets 3 weeks of vacation a year now since he's been there 5 years (his FT job, not the mud farm).

That's so sad. Please give Coal my condolences. My thoughts are with him (and you.)
ReplyDeleteTell Coal, he is in my thoughts and try not to dwell on how she died but how she lived. It is wonderful that he was able to have so much time with his grandmother here on earth.
ReplyDeleteAwful. I'm so sorry...
