One of my Two Aunt Gretas Died

I've detailed some of the crises we are wading through, but, not all of them.


I've said that I have an aunt and an uncle under hospice care. The aunt, my father's sister, passed away yesterday. The family wants me to be the parish priest and do the service. I desperately love my cousins and aunts and uncles but the mere thought of doing parish priest duties makes my skin crawl and I don't have the emotional reserve to deal with that.


One part of our journey I don't think I have mentioned is that, somehow, Maggie ate some rodent poison. She's being treated for it and, at the moment, it's touch and go. AND, she has a new tumor.


We meet with our family doctor today to find out more about Evie's test results and the way forward in her treatment.
