Things that make you think.

My younger sister lived with our mother's ex boyfriend's sister since she was about two... I will pause while you read that three or four times to get that straight.

A few days ago that ex of our mother's died of a heart attack, he lived in the house where my sis and her "guardian" live. I just got back from the visitation, things seem to be okay but I worry about how my sister is doing. This guy was practically a dad to her at one point.

I am not going to the funeral tomorrow because of a prior engagement, and for the fact that I had never known him that well, I went to be with my sister at the visitation and that is enough. I don't want to over step my boundaries.

My son (as usual) was the center of attention, I had people I never met coming to hold him, I didn't refuse because I knew these people were family of the people who raised my sister, therefore practically family to me, and very sad to boot. Aedan cheered everyone right up, they laughed, he laughed, we all laughed.

On another note:
Aedan is finally getting back into tummy time now... I took a few pictures of him on his boppy, the bumbo seat is on the way.
