First, a week ago yesterday, my Ex-wife's mother died. She was the only Grandmother my youngest son knew, even thou she wasn't She lived about one mile from my house and we adored her. While her daughter and I don't see eye to eye, she was the grandest woman I ever knew.
Second, my wife's best friend's husband got killed Sunday. He was coming home late after working a double shift. Swerved to avoid some deer in the raod and hit a tree. Airbag failed to deploy, he was moving but unable to get out. Then the car burst into flames, witnesses were unable to get through the flames to reach him, but could see him moving around. He burned to death.
Thrid, the wife of one of my younger brothers had a stroke Monday. She is in her mid-forties, and has two young girls at home. One 14 and one 11. She is paralised on the right side, and unable to speak.
