We woke up in the hotel room. Sadness for losing my dad-in-law still stayed with us. We were sad and exhausted. We didn’t feel like doing anything. We just wanted to relax and rest in bed for a while. The hotel served the hotel guests a cold breakfast bag. It contained a Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sandwich, a bagel, a pack of cream cheese, a chocolate muffin, and an orange juice. I was amazed for their generous amount for the breakfast. We checked out the hotel around 11 a.m. and headed to my mom-in-law’s house.
My brother-in-law told us last night that he and his family would leave around noon. My mom-in-law told us we could stay at the trailer house after my brother-in-law and his family left. When we arrived there after noon, they were still there.
In the afternoon we had some visitors. The first visitors were my dad-in-law’s sisters. My dad-in-law had 5 siblings; 2 brothers and 3 sisters. His 2 brothers always passed away. My mom-in-law told about the last moment of my dad-in-law in details. My dad-in-law’s death was confirmed at 10:22 p.m., and his death certificate shows his departure time as 22:22. It really sounds like him. He had been contributing a lot to establish peace as the Navajo traditional peacemaker. The number “2” means “peace.” Also his life path number was “22” which is a master number being a teacher. I am sure he is satisfied to have his departure time as “22:22.” And, interestingly at this moment when I am writing this story, it is August 22nd and it adds up another “22.”
My brother-in-law left the house around 3 p.m. My family could finally get in the trailer house. We needed to start cleaning the trailer house because they left as it was without cleaning. Around 4 p.m., my husband received a phone call from his brother. They got a flat tire on the road where was located about 1 hour away from their parents’ house. It was weird that even though his car was still new of just 2 years old, the car didn’t carry a spare tire. My husband and my brother-in-law’s first daughter went to rescue them. They didn’t come back until 8 p.m. I thought my dad-in-law made this accident for this brothers. My husband and his brother were not close. They seldom see each other. Every time when they see each other, they don’t hug or even greet. His family and my family usually don’t greet. It is very weird and uncomfortable. This unexpected accident made the brothers get close. They talked and laughed each other while processing on fixing the flat tire. I guess my dad-in-law was happy to see his sons getting close for this accident.
At night my brother-in-law’s first daughter brought her boyfriend to the house. My mom-in-law wanted to relax the night together with a campfire. My husband built a fire and we all 6 people sat down surrounded by the campfire. Later on my husband’s cousin joined us so that we were 7 people. We all talked nice things about my dad-in-law.
It was a busy day. I personally am not good at dealing with a crowded people and I was exhausted. My daughter shares the personality with me and she too was exhausted. At night she got an allergic reaction. Her both eyes got all red and itchy. She got bloody nose. After a long relaxing shower, she got recovered from the allergic symptoms.
