_{^{~Groovin' With Soccamom~}}

It's taken me a while to gear up to talk about this but here it goes. The Friday evening before Easter we got a call that Miss Boo's dad, my ex, had just days to live. He's been fighting cancer for a couple of years now and is nearing the end of the fight.

My husband immediately booked a hotel room and Miss Boo and I flew out early early early Easter Sunday morning. We rented a car and were with the ex and his wife that afternoon. We visited them for 2 days and I really think Miss Boo found some good closure to the situation. She didn't know he was terminal until last friday.

We called various family members and had a nice little reunion right there in Germantown. It felt great to be able to pull all these people together for Miss Boo and everyone else.

Those few days were good and bad. I'm surprised at how deeply emotional I felt about the whole thing. I don't know. It was just hard.

We did seem to make it just in time as he passed away on April 25.

O bla di o bla da...
