:-(

Today was a completely sucky day.

It put a whole different perspective on things.  I never had to worry about my Mom being alone.  She has been with Earl since I was 14 or 15... and well, back then I didnt worry about much. 
I was never super close to Earl... but I knew he made my Mom happy.  Seeing her heart broken today... broke my heart.
I cant even begin to imagine...

The kids all want to go and spend the night with her... and I think that is a great idea. 

It is so weird what the kids are saying... and how they are processing it.
NONE of them are dealing with it very well... everyone is super pissy!!
Nathan took it the hardest...which is what I expected.  His mind is in a tornado of emotions and thoughts... He said it is sad that Papa Earl didnt get to go to Josh's graduation party... and he wont see Courtney graduate.  I explained to him that Papa Earl did put some words in Courtney's year book... and that will make everyone very happy.  Then he went to worrying about my mom... then he went to worrying about Papa Earl's car.  Then he just sat down next to me... and said... "yea, I am really sad too"  Like he was the last thing he thought about.
 
Brittany isnt good with things like this... she finished her homework... then resorted to taking it all out on everyone around her... until she shut herself in her room to cry a bit.

Courtney... well... I dont think it sunk in.  I am not sure she is getting it yet.  Because with her... there was just a blank stair. 

Well... I dont have any more time... I have to get my kids packed up... They want to go spend the night with my Mom.  And, I think that will be a great idea!!  When I called my Mom... she seemed happy to have them! 
Time to pack them up!
