It is possible that in the next week or so, we may be taking a trip to attend the funeral of my last grandparent. He isnt doing well and they are only giving him morphine for the pain. He doesnt have much longer to live.

So, we’ll take out the suitcases, make the trek to Utah and pay our last respects.

It’s an uncertain time because we dont know when it could finally happen so most of my financial plans are put on hold for now. I know it sounds morbid to be thinking about money right now but oh well…

I’m grateful to have my emergency fund but it’s hard to watch it disappear so quickly, but I suppose that is what it is there for. This is the second time this has happened with my emergency fund.

Sometimes I feel like the only reason I have that fund is to pay for the cost of travelling to funerals but I know that’s not completely true! :(

Oh well!

Update 06/13/09- he passed away this morning, so our trip is on for next week. I am grateful that I have 3 days funeral leave and I’ll only need to worry about Christopher and I financially.
