We play cards once a month with friends of our. There are 3 couples total. We rotate houses. Last night we went to Joe and Rita's, had dinner and our usual game of cards. Got home around 11pm. Strange coming home to a house with no kids as they slept at their aunts house. Rick and I woke up around 9 (well, he was up earlier) - we watched the movie Wild Hogs together before I went to get the kids.
After the movie I checked my voice mail to find a message from my neighbor Joan who lives at the end of the road, she asked me to call her. I couldn't reach her, but my gut told me it was bad news and I had a feeling what it was. I finally got in touch with another neighbor and she confirmed what I thought it was. My next door neighbor, Dottie, had passed away this morning. She had been battling pancreatic cancer for the past year. She wasn't that old, in her 50's. She has 4 kids, two of them I don't know because they are grown and married, but the other two, Hannah, who is about 19 and her brother Doug who is in 8th grade, I'm very fond of.
My friend Sue and I went this afternoon to get some food and bring it over. Hannah is so upset. I feel so bad for them.
In September we lost another neighbor, Sue's husband.
It's been a sad time here on Paul Court.
Keeping everyone in our prayers.
