Taking the Scenic Route

Zach’s best friend just found out his bio-mom died.  He just found out a few days ago that she had “3-4 weeks to live”, but obviously the end came a lot sooner for her.  The news was so fresh he hadn’t even had time to process it yet.  My heart just hurts for him.  She lost custody of him for good reason (as an infant/toddler), and he grew up knowing her as his aunt, but it is still a big blow. 

He was able to spend Sunday with her, and she died Sunday night, so that is good.  He didn’t hear about it until this evening because his phone somehow got knocked off the jack on the wall and nobody noticed it until this evening.  He has to call around to all the family now and write the ulogy. 

This sucks.  As an adult he was finally able to regain a relationship with her and now he lost her so young.  Ugh.
