Such sad news

Tweet

It doesn't impact me but I'm still upset about it. My ex-husband's cousin's husband (say that 3 times fast) had the flu and then crashed rapidly and wound up in the ICU in critical condition with his kidneys shutting down. She said something in a video update a few days ago about bananas from a hotel but I don't really understand what the connection was to that. Anyway she understandably looked awful and exhausted. She had asked earlier for people to consider making a donation so she could sleep in a hotel bed instead of in an ICU chair. I Venmo'ed her some money. I am still on good terms with all of his family and care about them. He was transferred from a VA hospital in Maryland to a "better" one in Philadelphia about a week ago. In the last update she said he was still in critical condition but that there were signs of possible small improvements. This morning my ex texted me that her husband had passed away last night. He was just 41. His 2 young children are in elementary school. I am so so sad for them, for his wife, and for all of his family. I only met him once (well twice) the weekend of his wedding. They were married on 7/7/07 and it was absolutely the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. It was also the hottest as we roasted in 105 F degree temperatures on the bank of the Chesapeake Bay. Still I have great memories of that weekend. What a tragedy.
