Uncertain News.

[swestrup]

I got a phone call a couple of hours ago from my Father. One of my cousins suddenly passed away unexpectedly.  I'd never met this particular cousin. I'm not even sure I had ever heard of this cousin before. However, I do remember her mother, my Aunt Ruth, with great fondness, although I only ever met her once (we stayed at her summer house once, ages ago, before it was sold to Shania Twain...)

We had been planning to go visit my Aunt Ruth sometime this summer, to renew old acquaintances and because she's getting on in years now. This has suddenly thrown the whole thing into a different light, and plans are getting rethought. We'll probably still not be visiting before summer though, as my Mom is currently on a boat on the Rhine somewhere and couldn't accompany us...
