An update for everyone who knows Kelly....

For everyone who knows Kelly over at Green Olives and Pickle Juice.....

As I am sure you know already, her biological dad passed away on Monday. She has her adoptive dad and her biological dad. Her biological dad lived in Arizona and had a heart attack Monday.

I feel for her, having just lost my own biological dad, and wish her all my sympathies for her loss. She found out right before we left work on Monday, and she was a wreck. I took her home and stayed with her until her husband got home from work. She left on Tuesday afternoon on a plane going to Arizona. I have talked to her every night since. She was going to come back on Friday, but the service isn't until 2:30 p.m. Friday, and the last plane on her airline leaving Phoenix leaves at 5:30 p.m., so she isn't going to make that flight. She is going to be leaving Phoenix at 5:00 a.m. instead.

She seems to be doing okay. She is helping her step-mother pack the house up, because Marilynn (the step-mother) says she can't stay in that house with him gone. So Kelly is keeping busy, and that is the best thing for her right now I think. She will call me again tonight and I will update you all again tomorrow.

Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Between Kelly and I, we have had more deaths in our families in the past five years (starting in 2003 with my mother) than anyone else we know. Death is a hard thing to deal with, and a hard thing to get past.... We all do it in our own way and our own time. Kelly is a lot stronger than she gives herself credit for, and she will get through this. It will NEVER be okay....I always hate it when people tell me that it is....but it will get easier.....

Love you Kelly!

I've been praying for her since she IM'd me Monday night to tell me. We tried IM'ing back and forth tonight but her internet kept coming and going. Please tell her I send her my love and will talk to her when I get home Sunday or Monday.
