So I have a major transformation going on at work. Doing a few months work in a few weeks. Meetings with service providers and contractors all this week and in the weeks to come pretty much constantly and daily. Yesterday I’m at the table with two companies. I get a call that my brother-in-law had just died unexpectedly. I call my wife and asked her if she was ok. She’s the strongest person I’ve ever met. I told her I loved her and I would meet her at her moms house shortly. She said to stick with what I was doing because she knew it was important. Said she’d see me in a bit. My partners looked at me after that phone conversation and asked what was wrong. I quickly told them the situation while I had not yet processed the event. Told them I would stick around for a bit. This is when you know you have good partners. I hadn’t, and couldn’t digest what had just happened. I guess I was in shock. They said to get the hell to my wife right now and leave it up to them. I feel guilty for not jumping up out of my chair to leave. I have so much pressure on me right now, and that news came out of nowhere. I basically just froze. Please pray for my wife and my mother-in-law particularly. They were the closest to Mark. He has an adopted daughter that has no options. She will most likely move in with us. Please pray for the right guidance to give her and the words of comfort for her as well.
