Red Cross message requesting my presence in Texas. Grandfather is terminal and he has gastric cancer and given 3-6 weeks. If they could get him to eat a little, he might last 3-6 months, but he's unable to keep food down and not even interested in eatng. Doctors said that if he could eat like a 'normal' person he could stretch his time to 9 months.

Grandfather is requesting a military funeral (he's retired Air Force) and has both of his families (he divorced my grandmother and married the other woman over 40somthing years ago) oldest children working on his paperwork and estate. Which means my mother and her half-brother, who she has no relationship with, now spend time with each other every day. She's stressed out and confused and I have a feeling she's not eating again. She weighed 86 pounds at her last doctor's appointment.

Hubby went to the Navy Relief Society and I believe they are helping us with tickets since the money we have would be wiped out-- and that money is for closing costs on the house we just signed for on Friday (via my parents).

I think we leave Thursday. Waiting for hubby to get home for the details.
