Getting Back into Normal Life

For the last week, our lives have been out of our normal routine. Last Wednesday, ds headed off to FL with his grandparents for 5 days. Last Thursday, dh, dd and I headed out to Southwest GA to camp and attend SEFF, Southeastern Flight Festival. This is where hundreds of grown men come together to fly their RC airplanes and drool over all of the new gear and planes. Funny, huh?
Friday, while we were there, I recieved a call from my mom that my Grandmother had had a major heart attack. She later called back to say my Grandmother had passed. This was a sad time for me and all my family.
We left Saturday from SEFF to head over to my mom and dad's in Central GA. The next few days were a whirlwind as we had to travel to Macon to pick up our son from his other grandparents and go to the town my grandmother lived, further south of my parents. Then, we had the viewing and funeral to attend.
It is hard to think that my grandmother is gone. This ends that generation of my dad's family. Sad to think of her house being sold and all of her possession's divided or sold. The finality of it is hard.
During this sad time, I got to see family and friends I haven't seen in many years Some it had been 15 years...Time is truly fleeting. You really realize that when something like this happens.
Back at home, we (me and the whole fam) have had a hard time getting back to our normal routine. I think today has been the first day that resembled anything close to normal. So is life, yes?
