Booked flight to Spokane
Aug. 21st, 2014 07:08 pmSo my Dad is doing relatively well for now and they (he and my Uncle) have been able to travel back to Spokane. They should be home by tonight. I will be flying into Spokane on Tuesday as I wanted to give Dad a few days to get settled, and he has doctor's appointments all day on Monday.
Apparently airlines will not just offer slight discounts on bereavement fares, but will also add notes to your ticket that enable you to call and reschedule your return flight without penalty fees. So that's good. I will have to leave at the butt-crack of dawn on Tuesday, but I can sleep on the plane.
Today is one of those days where the full reality of the situation short-circuited my brain a bit. To be expected. Yesterday I did most of my packing and put together a batch of pictures to take. I will spend time scanning the pictures tomorrow so I can share them with others online. There will probably be many stories and memories shared in the coming days/months as I process by writing.
The other way I process is by reading and research. In between fluff I've been reading The Pagan Book of Living and Dying by Starhawk which amazingly enough I already had on my bookshelf. I also have Entering the Summerland by Edain McCoy which is next on my to read list. My father and I share a similar belief system and I am hoping that I can find material that will not just help me but will also help my father.
