My grandfather broke his hip 2 weeks ago and my mom and I were due to fly out Thursday to go visit him. I found a great fare online and arranged all my childcare.
He died last night. So now all of our plans are up in the air and the funeral date is TBD. I had to call my cousin today and tell him. I am happy my kids got to go to see my grandpa in December for a last visit.
I should add that when my grandmother died, I was on vacation, on my way to see her. I’m some sort of jinx!
