Betty, my mother-in law passed away on Nov 11th. The day after Monet turned 6.
Then when my sister Joséphine called from Beirut for the condolences, she told me that her brother-in-law, Gys had also passed away.
Now, I'm stranded in the giant snow storm in Montreal where I arrived on Friday Nov 30th at night to be the surprise present for my mom on a surprise party for her 70th b-day ... 30 minutes before we reached the restaurant where the 50 + people were waiting for the surprise on Saturday, my brother's father in law, Arthur, dropped in the supermarket, while on his way to get ready for the party, and died from a massive heart attack.
The party was cancelled of course and so I spent my few days in Montreal between the funeral home and the notary for the will.
My flight back to LA was on Dec 5th though as I couldn't postpone and attend the funeral on the 6th. That's because on the 7th early morning, I had to fly to San Francisco, to attend my partners' wedding on the 8th, near Russian Gulch (a few hours driving distance north of SFO)
Did I tell you that the guy who was supposed to be the best man on their wedding was found dead on Nov 1st at age 25?!
that makes it 'Four Funeral and a Wedding"
What a month!
