John and I arrived yesterday afternoon. The wake is tomorrow and the funeral mass/burial is Monday. The kids are with our wonderful friends in La Paz, but it's strange to be on a different continent than your babies!
John's dad is doing well, considering. His mom fell apart a bit at the airport but she's doing pretty darn well too. They're the best in-laws a woman could ask for.
We're heading to John's sister's place tonight. His brother is coming into town any minute and we refuse to take up so much space at John's parents...they (John's parents) were trying to tell us they'd sleep on an air mattress so we'd all fit here. Puhleeze!! Cuqui has plenty of space and we'll all get some decent sleep over a stressful weekend. We're just waiting to see Jorge and Rosie when they get here with their babes - John has yet to meet little Manuel who turns one in a few months.
I'll not likely blog for a few days but I'll be back when I'm back in Bolivia!

The strength is in the family bond. It's what gives you the ability to carry on in hard times. Grieving together over a lost family member will further tighten the bond and that's the way it should be.
Grieve her passing but celebrate the strong, united family she helped create in her lifetime.
For everything there is a season.
So sorry for your loss. Is this the grandmother who was at your wedding? What a character! I remember the pearl handle miniture pistol she had under her lacey garter. I've often told friends about it , One friend and I used to sit in court and secretly pretend to haul out our pretend pearl handled pistol to shoot witnesses (and lawyers) who pissed us off.
