Unthinkable

I am soooooooooooooo happy to be in New Orleans.

We have been filled with laughter, memories, swimming, late night chit-chats with our friends and family. I'm loving every second of it. New Orleans area is always be very special to us. Not only because of our friends and my brother lives here but its the place we met and fell in love. Ted's been off of work since I've been here. So, I'm very glad I decided to take the plunge and came.

Yesterday, my parents and lil brother left to go back home. We were happy about there announcement of plans of moving back to Louisiana in the next year. We came back to hotel tired and fell asleep like every other night.

The phone rang at 3am. I hear my husband repeating "What? Donald's dead??!?" I'm immediately wide wake and in horror of the words I was hearing. Last night the unthinkable happened.

Two month's ago, we were in Texas celebrating Ted's mom remarrying a wonderful man Donald. Yesterday, like any other day Donald and my mother-in-law were happy, healthy, and spending time with my two sister-n-laws. Donald woke up last night with chest pain. They went to the emergency room where he's lungs filled up with fluid in no time at all and his heart failed. He died. He died? He's dead? But they just got married two months ago? My mother-n-law has waited her whole life to find a man that treats here like a princess, loves her, cares for her... And he's dead? Just like that.

My heart is overwhelmed. My head can't comprehend our sudden loss. I'm filled with prayers for my sweet mother-n-law to be comforted.
