The end of the month marks my dad's death day. I thought it would be nice if the baby were born on that date, but it didn't work out for the dr. Matt also thought it may be a bit morbid, but I thought it would be a completion to the circle of life. Instead of mourning on that day, we could once again celebrate! Oh well, he is coming on the the 27th instead.
Today, I got word that my grandma (my dad's mom) passed away yesterday morning. I'm a little conflicted because we were never really close. I think in my whole life she came to Indiana (lived in FL) twice and we went down there a few times as well. Not to say I didn't get the Christmas cards/gifts, birthday card, etc, but I think there's more to family than just mailing a gift on holidays. After my dad died, I have not had any contact with them (the whole side of the family) except once again the occasional card and I do send birth announcements, etc as well. The fact is they didn't even come to my wedding so it's not like we're BFF's, but she was still family. My heart doesn't know what to feel.
