I feel so bad that I could cry. Tia - my granddaughter - left yesterday on a 10 day vacation with her mother and step father Joe. Their first stop was in MA to visit with Joe's family, and then they planned to go touring in the northern New England states, and then to check out a college in RI that she is considering, before heading back home.
I just got a call from my son (Tia's father), and Tia had text him and said that Joe's mother passed away this morning of a sudden heart attack. She was quite elderly - somewhere around 80 or maybe even older - but had not been ill recently. I had met her several times when she was down here visiting - a very sweet lady!
Such a tragic set of circumstances, but at least they got to see her one last time. I don't know what this will do to the rest of their plans - whether they will be able to salvage any of their vacation or not, or even if they will want to. I was just talking to Tia's mom on Wednesday when she cut my hair, and they were so looking forward to this vacation.
I'll say a prayer for Tia's grandmother and all of the family, as this is such a shock for them. If anyone would like to join me, I'm sure it will be appreciated.
Thanks all.....
