Hey everyone!
I haven't updated you all on some resent happenings. My grandmother passed away Saturday, June 21 on the feast of St. Aloysius (the patron Saint of my grandfather). I'm 18 hours away from home in FL. The funeral was held out here. Now I'm just visiting with my Aunt.
My family and I think she probably suffered internal bleeding (she fell in her apartment). She came over for dinner the same day she passed away and we were all home to spend time with her (it's been pretty rare when everyone in my family is home at the same time). She wasn't feeling herself that evening, so we had a priest come to give her the Last Rites. It wasn't until, after we brought her back to her room (at an assisted living facility not to far from our house) that she fell and was taken to the hospital. My mom and dad were with her when she died. If you could all pray for the repose of her soul, my family and I would be truly grateful.
Well, as homesick as I am, FL has been pretty nice. I'm working on my tan, swimming, going on family walks, went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2 (it was a great movie!), enjoying my aunt's great cooking, and watching some fun tv shows and movies (we don't have cable at home and my aunt does). We might do some shopping later this week. I will be sharing pictures of the trip soon!
