And it doesn't make it easy to have to contend with all the alcoholism on top of it. Take care of yourself.
Is it possible that no dogsitter means that you might not have to go?

Yes, that is a possibility. AH has told me that it's OK if we don't come anyway since he hates his family anyway. He doesn't like me being around them, go figure, since he says they're all crazy. Hmmm, must run in the family? LOL, anyway I'm still waiting to hear if they have set a day for the viewings and funeral. If anything, I'm hoping I can get back for just the funeral and then have someone here for 2-3 days for the dog.
