Leaving on a jet plane...

Tomorrow myself and lil G are going back home to Arkansas.  My wonderful husband sent us to North Carolina so I could pay my respects to my Uncle Lionel.  I had two uncles that I was close to while I was growing up.  My Uncle Lionel (Columbus Lionel Radford) and My Uncle Herman who passed away over a year ago.  I wasn't able to go to Uncle Herman's funeral because my work wouldn't allow it.  But big G as much as he didn't want us to go he said that it was something that I needed to do.  In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to come out or be able to come to the funeral.  We really can't afford it but I flew on Northwest Airlines, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PEOPLE!  $319 for a round trip ticket, straight flight from Memphis to Charlotte, Thursday-Tuesday.  My uncle is on life support and they called the hospital to confirm that he was there and since it was a medical reason they let me fly at that rate.  God Bless Them!!!!  I visited my MIL and her family yesterday.  I wanted to visit my FIL's parents but don't have the time, which really sucks.  I know it'll happen when all 3 of us come out next time.  I don't want to go anywhere else w/o big G.  I miss him too much.  That and with lil G I need as much help as I can get!  Ha Ha Ha.  I hope you all have a great day and I'll write more in a couple of days.  

Oh.  My uncle had a massive stroke that has left him blind and he's on a ventilator, it's only a matter of time now until God takes him home.  Just pray that his and the family's suffering won't last much longer.  He is a very good man and doesn't need to go through all of this.
