A great big thank you to everyone. I flew back to Chicago almost immediately and I'm currently overwhelmed with dealing with planning the memorial and going through her stuff (she was a hoarder), in between visits from family, friends, and church members. I'm really amazed how many people have called, written cards, sent over food, and just sent their love and prayers.

I know a lot of people belong to my grandmother's church; she has a personality like Mother Teresa, so it's really nice to see them taking care of her during this time.

I feel for my grandfather who is shutting off his grief, and handling it alone, and immersing himself in work and anger, but he's a man...and I guess people grieve differently.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this board. Seriously in all of the brouhahaha, it has warmed my heart to think that total strangers have sent their compassionate kind thoughts and support in my direction. If I don't respond directly for a while or don't respond to threads/posts for a while, just know I'm really overwhelmed with all of the major life events going on and the stress and m/s of this pregnancy.
