Married Leos

Back in February I had gotten a call from my ex-sister-in-law stating that her mother was in the hospital and that she was gravely sick. I was back and forth for 4 weeks deciding if I should send my older two kids to see their grandmother. Of course the King said that was no longer my responsibility to flip the bill for such a trip. My ex took off without a thought of his kids, in a way I could understand (after all this is his mother) but had this been me in this position I would have taken my kids along. Good news, my ex- mother-in-law got better enough to go home. Still I felt that even though she was home now the kids should at least go and see her, so I waited to see if the ex (AKA asswipe) would take his kids to see their grandmother. Well that never happened. This past Monday I got a call from my ex-SIL stating that her mother was once again in the hospital and this time the doctors were saying that it wasn’t looking good (they said the same thing in February and gave her little hope of surviving then). She called me on Thursday morning just to report that her mother was still the same. It was then that I said that I had to send my kids to California they had to see her, this may be the last time. She told me to hold on (like she did in February) and this time I said no, something is telling me I have to send them now. Before I could make phone calls regarding plane fares my ex-SIL called me back telling me that her mother got worse and that the doctors did not think she would make it through the night. I made a call to a friend and thanks to Susan I was able to get tickets for the kids, only problem was that they had to wait till Friday morning (7:46am).  I prayed that my ex-MIL held on until my babies got to see her for the last time. Last I had heard on Thursday was that my ex-MIL last opened her eyes at noon, so my theory was that she was now in a coma. I got the kids off (sadly) and was glad that they got to the hospital and told her that they were there to see her. I strongly feel that she waited for the kids (and her son) to get there because my ex-MIL past away last night. I am glad that I decided to send them but I regret that I didn’t send them sooner so that they would have been able to see her at home instead of seeing her in a coma at the hospital. Even though I am no longer part of that family I never wished her ill will and always respected her. I had many good times with her and her family and I will miss her dearly.

My God grant her eternal rest and may God help the family through their grief.
