Re: We got the phone call we all dread!
Yep this morning we were awakened by the phone. We have had some devastating news. My MIL was killed in a car accident this morning. So the panicky trying to find flights and not knowing when anything is actually happening thing has been going on today. Then of course there is the guilt of not being closer and not being able to get there sooner. Earliest flight is Wednesday, so hubby is taking that and daughter and I will follow on a few days later - unless it all happens sooner than that, then we all fly out together.
Both my hubby's boss and my boss have been fabulouus with offers of rides to the airport etc.
Probably won't be around to much in the next couple of weeks. So I'll see you all soon.

Piff, so sorry to hear your news.
My condolances to you and your family, maybe ask your daughter if she wants to open the card straight away, perhaps she would rather save opening the card until the shock of the news has worn off.
Sending virtual hugs
