Desperate Housewives & A Sad Note

For those of you that follow - please let me know how you feel about this season. I am really not too sure what to think. I only started watching last year and I did catch some past episodes. So really, I have only been following for about 3 seasons now. But I really don't know what think about this whole skip 5 years thing. And what is the deal with Gabby??? Sometimes I feel "frumpy" but come on - I don't think any of us "housewives" really look that frumpy. They say next week's episode will show us some flashbacks to give us insight as to what has happened over the last five years. Even though I don't know what to think, I still keep watching. It really is a GREAT show & it's almost addicting. I know on Sunday evenings, I am in a rush to get dinner done, cleaned up, kids bathed, laundry done & kids put to bed by 8:30. That gives me 30 minutes to wrap up what else is left to be done, put on my comfy pj's, snuggle up in bed & tune in to ABC. And they all know at 9pm Mommy's show is on.

On a sad note, this weekend was not a good one. My husbands grandfather passed away Saturday evening. All of us (the children, grandchildren, etc.) were all there for most of the day. And between 6 & 7pm we all left except my mother-in-law (his daughter). And then around 8pm he passed away. After having watched both my grandmother & my grandfather pass away I truly believe something one of the hospice nurses told me...she said that she has seen death enough & believes that they choose when they are ready to let go. She said that some wait until all their family is around them & others wait until everyone has left the room. I have seen this both. My grandfather seemed to know that all of us were around him. We were circled around his bed holding hands and my mom said to him that we were all here & it was ok now. And he just took one last breath and was gone. My grandmother was the opposite, we had all been there with her the night before & were on our way back that morning & then she waited until no one was in the room and when my mom had turned to talk to the nurse or something she took her last breath. So, when my husband & I got back to the hospital Saturday night I told my mother-in-law this, and I told her that I believe with my whole heart about them choosing to die with family around or once family has left the room. But, we know now that he is in Heaven & is no longer suffering. Death is a horrible thing but it's something that always makes us think & appreciate the family that we have and to enjoy day that God has given us for we don't know how many more days he will give us!
