Mom and I were going to take Ryan to Tulip Time on Friday, but the trip is off since my dad's sister Doris died on Sunday. We were going to go last year too, but my dad's Aunt Marian died. I don't think I will make plans to go next year! It is jinxed for Schweitzers.
I think I have only seen Aunt Doris twice since I got married, but it is sad to hear she has passed. I am sad that she died alone, and mostly sad that now her kids don't have any parents. Her husband died when I was one year old. That means she has been a widow for 30 years! That is a really long time. I feel bad too for my dad and his other sister, and really bad for Grandpa Schweitzer. He is in a nursing home and doesn't have much quality of life.
It also makes me nervous because she is one of many Schweitzer/Nielsen relatives (oddly all female) that was diabetic.
I am picking Ryan up at 12:00 tomorrow and heading home. I am going to stay until at least Saturday morning since I don't get up there too often.
