Tough Weekend Coming Up

Ah...more sad news today.

Jordan is our 17 year-old neice on Jenny's side - Jenny's brother Craig's step-daughter. A young man in her class died the other day - it sounds like it was the result of a suicide attempt. We just learned about it, but we don't know very much about it...how Jordan's doing and such.


Being so down last week, I really forgot something. We're going to a wedding next weekend in Chicago for a second-cousin of Jenny's. Her mother's family is Italian, from up in the Upper Pennisula (U.P.) of Michigan...and they've always been really close. Weddings, especially, have always been big to-do's.

I think it's the first get-together since Ed, Peg, and Darcy have all passed that isn't a funeral. For the last bunch of years, we'd have travelled together with Jenny's parents. Darcy had been living out-of-state since she was 18, and it would have been another one of those fun weekends where we would have all been together.

Jenny mentioned that she's had a few bad dreams recently...dreamt about her mom a few times. And she also mentioned that for just a second she was looking forward to seeing Darcy this weekend. So it's bound to be a tough week and weekend.
