Was gone for about a week, well in my case offline for 9 days or so as it took some recouperating when I returned. Went to texas with daughter to see family and old friends back home.
a week before leaving had called the eldest uncle on dad's side of the family to try and get in touch with them to see granny as she would either be the first or last person to see on my trip.
no response from them, so mom and I do research and we find that granny has a head stone in the same graveyard (i don't know the proper term for it sorry) next to pa...so yeah...
got there and were ready to put flowers down and everything only to find they never put the year and day she died. We asked the caretaker...i forget as daughter started fussing so i took her back to the car to calm down. Mom said that the manager or person in charge of paperwork would call us back. Fast forward to last day or the day before I'm to head back and mom finally got the call back. She didn't pass away they just had her headstone ready as the family had a feeling that she wasn't far from it and would have the plaque that has the date added afterwords.
lovely little freak out insued before this so i was not happy. And had spent the remainder of my time visiting friends for support as mom had to work a few days while i was there.
Two days after i get back from texas uncle's wife calls and apologizes and everything and that granny is doing ok and could we come see her. I told her in the most polite way that i could that i had just gotten back home and that i understood not checking messages but...won't be able to return until may.
very upset still, cause its not like they didn't know and i do not doubt the messages were left unchecked on accident but...not the freak out i needed....
glad granny is still around but its not known if she will still be around by may so even more upset at that too
