My dad was hit by a motorist on the 15th while walking his dog. He would have died at the scene but they put him on a ventilator. He was brain dead right away. 59 years old. Healthy. We just saw him a few days ago. He just became a grandpa to our 9 mo old baby.
It feels unreal. We are half the country away now staying with my mom. She cant believe it either.. no family around her. So it looks like we have to move down here. I cant just leave my mom alone after dad died like this. 18 hours away from any family in a town she and dad only lived in a year.
We have to sell our house. Someone's watching our animals still. I dont know what's going on.
To make it more complicated my only sibling decided it was a good time to act out her grudge against me and made the past week a nightmare by refusing to stay in the house with all of us, not speaking to me, and taking off for hours in my dad's Corvette. my husband is exhausted by our family dysfunction and I'm not sure we will move down here because hes afraid we will see my sibling more which means trouble...
But I cant leave my mom. Shes strong but no ones that strong. She doesnt work, dad provided for her. Shes alone somewhere she knows no one. I pray that we will make it through this. I pray my husbands job will let him work remote for a while. I pray my sibling will get help of some kind. I pray we will be able to move here to support my mom.
Mostly I pray my dads soul will find rest with the Lord. His faith was private and he was not a church goer. He didnt talk about God. He was not a saint but was a good man. My mom told me today about a Christian movie they saw and enjoyed together. I might watch it tonight after baby sleeps if I can handle it.
I just had to get this off my chest. Please pray for my family.
