Two Funerals in one week

So, on Jan. 9 I went the funeral of my teacher's aide. She died of Leukemia after battling it for 23 months. So, that was my start to the weekend. During that weekend my mom was giving me updates on my Grampa. He wasn't doing well, but all was okay. I found out on Tuesday night that they were sending him home on hospice. So, it went from bad to worse fast. Needless to say he died in his sleep on Jan. 13.

So the debate was who was going to the funeral and when we would leave. That all would depend on when the services were being held. We found out the services were on Saturday. So Mom, Lisa, Frankie, and myself all went. We were going to leave at 10:55 and we boarded and started to back away from the gate. I realized that we were pulling back up to the gate. So, come to find out there was a bad part in the engine and that it would take at least 45 min. to fix. Finally, after waiting two hours we switched planes. Once we were almost to the next flight our previous flight took off. We finally arrive and we are starving. We have not had lunch at all. So, we head to El Taco Tote, which we have been there before, but it was just as delicious. Got to Gramma's about 3:45 and then waited around for about 40min. before we left for the service.

We headed to the funeral home to say goodbye to my amazing Grampa. It was very sad, but we got to see a ton of our family. So, that was nice. Afterward, we went back to Gramma's and hung out there visiting for a little bit. Then we went to dinner with my cousins, Gabriel, Fernie, and Crystal. These cousins have been our closest cousins. We always visited them when we were in El Paso. Had fun at dinner and then finally went to the hotel and got there at 12:30 El Paso time. WE were exhausted from such a crazy trip. Got up at 5:45 El Paso time and got ready to head home. Our plane was to leave at 8:20. We made it home. It was just such a whirlwind of a trip.
