Our weekend started off GREAT! D-Backs game, Seeing Gonzo, then the concert,just total happy making moments, and then the phone call...
"Kat, It's Carol. I just wanted to let you know that Dayna passed away this morning. She had a bad seizure, and she didn't wake up this time."
Then the texts started coming in about Dayna passing away..
I didn't believe it, the girl i just told was a dork because she wrote a new song to Book of Mormon Stories and how it was about the Laminites killing Obama was a dorky move for a talented writter, was now dead. SO what did I do? I got on facebook to confirm it. I knew her mom would have said something, and sure enough, Her mother did. "How does a mother say goodbye? She can't..."
So me and Bret drive all night up to Thatcher to be with friends as the news spreads. We come home Sunday and of course mom is mom. "I'm so glad you can find the time to go be with your friends right now. Glad you can be everyone's shoulder, but you can't be home."
thanks mom for understanding..
Then today, i go to my dental appt, and guess what! THEY DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Nothing! ok, they did do X-rays, but thats it. They can't pull my tooth because i need 4 root canals, crowns, deep cleening, and a bunch of other things, oh and because I'm 2 months away from being 20, so i have to go to a general dentist and got refered to a specialist for the root canals. Those of you who know about AHCCC knows that they pay for nothing! YAY ME! So ya, needless to say Its not a good week.
OH! Forgot the best part...
I get all the info on where Dayna will be buried and all that, which will be in Thatcher this friday, and i tell mom this and she says, "Well i dont think you should go because she's not family. She's just a friend. You have to learn to distance yourself from your college friends, they will only pull you down." Thanks mom for telling me to ditch the family you said to grow while i was there. I'm not you, someone who can drop people like a rock when ever they want. I grow bonds that take TIME to end. But hey, I get it. Nothing matters more then Kirsha and Greggs marriage!(or lack thereof)
So ya, if I'm short with anyone, sorry. Not the best of weeks for me. SO bare with me on this, ok.

With less than 3 weeks until you are Mrs Kayla, your Mom is stressed. I understand that as I have been in that position myself. I also understand that sometimes friends become family to you. I have friends who know me better than family does. I can call on them way before I feel I can call on family. Sounds like Dayna was family to you. I am sorry for your loss. Does not matter whether it was family by blood or choice, a loss is still a loss. Love you, Aunt ME
ReplyDeleteI think you and Bret should make this decision together. Mom will get over it. Yes, she would like you here to help make the plan for your wedding better or finalized, but if you plan on being in Thatcher fir just the day, then no worries. If you plan on being there the whole weekend, then maybe think about shortening your stay a little to make things better for all.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your friend. I do have coupons for dentists I found in the mail that I will bring you tomorrow.
--Sorry to hear about your friend. That sucks. I would go to the funernal but I wouldnt stay all weekend. Whatever you decide to do, mom will just have to get over it.
ReplyDelete--I hear ya about Kb and Gregg. I personally dont care what is going on with their marriage. Hearing about all their issues is beyond old. Not everyone wants to hear about their problems.
This decision is between you and bret! Whatever you decide is between the two of you and no one else! Your mother is stressed beyond stress, a little bit of it is from the wedding, but the rest of it is from the fact that she has to make sure that Kirsha and Gregg have the perfect marriage that the bishop says that they have! (LOL!!!!) This friend was very close to you it sounds like, if there are a lot of unfinished things for your wedding that need to be done, then I would just go up for the funeral, but remember it is your decision! Just so you know, in case no one pointed out, on your announcements, there is no time for the receptions, just wanted to let you know. Don't stress about it! We love you lots, and are proud of the decisions that you have made in your life, no matter how much we still think of you as little kayla, not ready to get married Kayla in 3 weeks!
ReplyDeleteJUST GO .... She was your family when you were at school. If she ment that much to you GO .... MOM will get over it! Yes she is stressed over many things but go if you feel the need to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your firend. Make the decision with Bret. Mom is too stressed about KB & Gregg. Go for the funeral. Spend some time with your friends in Thatcher.
ReplyDeleteI have just printed 300 more return address labels, 300 other labels, and 300 Oops we forgot the time cards. Happy Licking!!!!! You guys owe me a dinner and a movie. :)
