Unforeseen events

We were notified yesterday of a death in the family on T's side.

The funeral is on Saturday morning in my hometown.

Unfortunately, the timing makes it so that I can not participate in the Alzheimer's walk after all. Fate just doesn't seem to want me to do this walk. I couldn't last year, either.

My mom will still be going. And she will be accompanied by Monkey in her stroller (we don't want to bring her to the funeral with us).

With these circumstances, I'd much rather be doing the walk in the pouring rain (or snow) than have lost a member of the family.

RIP Uncle Roger. You will be missed by many.
