Other weekend news

While traveling to Athens on Friday, I got a phone call from our vet.  Dr. Kemp never calls, so I kind of knew immediately that something was not good.  She was calling to let me know that she found a mass deep inside Bailey's right ear.  She said it was so deep that she couldn't really tell too much about it.  She said if we were to have it removed, they would not be able to do the surgery, they would have to refer us elsewhere.  She did say that she wants us to monitor it over the next month to see if it grows and then make a determination on what to do.  None the less, my heart sank.  I am hoping maybe over the next month the mass will disappear. 

Then, on Saturday night, my Momma Hope called us while at Kiki's, and she was crying.  Again, I knew this was not a good sign at all.  She was calling to tell us that our Aunt Ann (my Momma Hope's younger sister) had passed away.  Again, my heart sank.

While we had a fun weekend with everyone, it was also filled with lots of emotions.  I guess when things like this happen, being with family is the best place to be.  It was just tough because I felt so bad for Momma Hope, and the fact the Momma Hope was alone in Hopkinsville.  We decided to stay in Athens and finish up our weekend trip (Momma Hope insisted we not come home).  So tonight and tomorrow, I will be in Hoptown for the visitation and funeral and celebration of life for my Aunt Ann.
