Today Daddy Lloyd passed away. We are all a little stunned. After his stroke on September 2nd, he was coming along nicely in recovery. He was awake this morning when the nurse gave him his breakfast. We still aren't sure of a cause of death, but we have a few suspicions. Mom and dad are leaving today and taking Katelyn with them. Me, Jon and the boys will leave out first thing in the morning. We have rented cars, and mom and dad have the bigger one, so that is why they are taking Kate with them tonight.
Josh has basketball tryouts today and tomorrow. I have talked to the coach and he has said it is fine for Josh to miss tomorrow...he will be able to make a determination since he was on the team last year. I have paid time off, but Jon does not, so we have worked with the daycare to get next week free for Heston. As of now, we do not plan to return to Texas for our planned Christmas trip-although we are still making plans-I am not sure it is really going to hit me til I get to Orange and see everyone. It is hard to sit at work right now, knowing I have so much to do tonight when we get home. I am sure I will not be able to sleep. I am not sure how the kids will take it, Kate is the one I am most concerned with. Heston is too little to understand and Josh is old enough to process everything, but Kate, she is just at that age...where.. I dont know...how she'll react. We have decided not to tell Josh til after basketball tryouts...just want to keep him as focused as possible.
Daddy Lloyd was a gerat man, a great grandfather and we are all going to miss him dearly.
