I'm feeling very sad.
First, Tom flew to Salt Lake City last weekend because his mom was not doing very well. He came home Sunday knowing that the end is near. The rest of the family is coming to terms with it. One brother in particular is having a rough time. As of today they are finding a nursing home that can take care of her needs. We'll be playing it by ear, day by day until the end.
Second, we received word of yet another couple who is calling it quits after 20+ years of marriage. I feel so sad that they chose this route, sad for them to go through it. Tom is so sweet. He said, "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." We started saying that to each other several years ago, and it really helps sometimes...like now.
And one lesson learned...
Rice, beans and vegetables DO NOT do the job when you're emotionally eating.
