Disney Mom - I'm just catching up and am sorry to hear the news. My son's Dad (my ex) committed suicide about 5 years after we divorced. Even though they hadn't had much contact, it was still a shock and we had to deal with settling his estate and cleaning out his house. No fun, especially when there's no will on record.
Another reason we should all have wills and some type of estate planning - you never know when it's going to be your turn.

Ya helps when ya can. Tomorrow I'm moving a bedroom set for a neighbor. He'll be on island next week and we'll be doing a few happy hours at the Hula Grill. I know all the back roads home. :twisted:

Hugs back to all of you. :)
Yesterday we went to Catalina to collect a few belongings. We needed to get to his boat which we found out was not in dry dock but anchored out away from the Harbor. It would normally cost hundreds of dollars to charter a boat out there, but instead, the owner of the place we called took us out there
for free and only took a small amount of money for gas when we insisted. Some angels/people are sent to us at the perfect time.
It gave us some comfort to see Catalina on such a beautiful day and to know
that the end was quick and he was in a place that he was very happy in during his childhood- his Father used to take him boating out there.
Whazzup, I'm so very sorry to hear that about your ex. When someone does that, it leaves everyone around them so hurt and thinking what else could they have done. It is sort of like that for my ex too, but I've let go of trying to figure out why and trying for acceptance of the situation. Will take my kids a lot longer to handle this, of course, but I'm going to just focus on helping them.
