Cutting my trip short

On Thursday morning, I woke up, showered and as I was about to leave the room, I quickly read my test message. One arrived at 2:30am that said “Judy please call me”

I knew this was THE call. I went down to Guest services and asked to have the call placed to Glenn. Guest services knew me because I had introduced myself at the very beginning of the trip explaining that dad was on hospice etc. Kevin was very helpful.

Glenn told me how dad died in his sleep. I remembered the last time I talked to dad on Wednesday afternoon when he had just been moved over to T Bond Pickens hospice center. I said “I love you dad” in which he replied “I love you too”. I smiled. I cried. Dad died on Thursday, February 5, 2026. That is Amanda’s 4th birthday. Guess I won’t forget this day.

We were in Mexico. No airport around. So Glenn made reservations for me to fly out on Friday from Cozumel at 3:30pm. Perfect!

I had to go thru customs snd immigrations on Friday- meeting in the dining room. My bags (cubes) were all packed. I asked Zach if he wanted to go in the taxi with me. He and Janie took the 40.00 round trip to the airport.

Glenn picked me up and we headed to JF. It had been decided the viewing would be on Monday and the burial on Tuesday and the memorial service on Monday, February 16 at NBCRead more
