Surprises can be wonderful and at a time of need

So last Friday had just been one of those days, the grueling last work day of the week in hopes for a great weekend of family and fun. I received a call on my cell phone while still at work that wasn't good news, news that we had expected at some point but I guess never really prepared for. My G-ma had passed away in her sleep the night before. I am grateful for my trip with the two kids by myself to STL in early August to drive from STL with my sister and the two kids to Michigan for a less then 24hr trip for a much needed family reunion. With living in FL - getting up to Michigan is not an easy task and I must say it's been far too long that I've made that trip. But today I'm MORE then glad I did.
I tried calling my sister (on her cell) no answer so I tried at the house and got her husband Matt he proceeded to tell me she was sleeping as she had 'worked' the night before (which if I would of been in my right mind I would of KNOWN she didn't work the night before cause I had talked to her - DUH) so I told him and he said he would have her call me. I only had a little time left at work so I wrapped things up for the day and on my way home attempted to call her again (no answer) attempted to call my husband (no answer) and so I called my step mom and she had said 'well hasn't Jenn told you' - I told her I haven't been able to get a hold of Jenn and just getting off work.. long pause - got off the phone and again tried Jenn and text Matt asking if she was ok and no response... WHY ISN"T ANYONE answering when I need to talk to someone?!?!?!?! Frustrated walking into the house - it all comes together.. my surprise All I could do is cry.. Very happy to have my sister at a time like this. Love you G-ma
