So last night while at the movies with the family I got a text from my sister. It said "Did you know that Pepa is selling the house and moving to Mississippi?"
Ok a little background on this one may be needed. So lets go back a few years. "Pepa" is my grandpa on my moms side. And as most of you know mom passed away June 10 2006. He is still living in Southwest Arlington where he has lived since 1976 with my Aunt Shelley who has many mental conditions and a lot of health problems. My "Mema" passed away last September and I know that he hasn't been dealing with all the death of my mom combined with the passing of my grandma very well at all.
This house was where i grew up as well. After my parents divorced when i was 11 we moved into that house and lived there until i was 15. This is a very sad move.
The last few times i have visited with him i can feel such a heaviness that he has in his heart and in his mind. He has so much on his plate to deal with. Shelley alone is a handful. I cant help out as much as i would like to living here in New Braunfels. I just feel sick about it!
I guess i should just let him do what he feels is right and what is going to put his mind at ease.
He put the house up for sale last Wednesday and it has already sold 2 days later. OMG! Are you kidding me. They have to be out by July 26th.
He has decided that he and Shelly will drive to Mississippi in the car with the very "Bare Minimum". Which to him means the clothes on his back. He is 82 for goodness sake and he doesn't drive more than 40mph ever! There is no way that he can make it to Mississippi in that car on the highway driving like that. What is he thinking?? I wish he would let us help him and get some plane tickets for the two of them. Then Crystal and i can drive the car to Mississippi for them. Lord help me to deal with this in the way that is right. I just feel so sad!:(
