So, my boyfriend's grandmother died today. She's been in and out of the hospital since late October and her body just couldn't handle it all. As a result, he is staying behind and changing his flight, while I am going on to Florida. He has to reschedule his job interview, and I really hope they won't count that against him. His stepfather has say in who gets hired, but if the higher ups change their minds...then we are beyond screwed. That job was the whole reason we decided to move to FL rather than stay here.
I am very nervous. I have social anxiety disorder, so although his family in Florida is extremely nice and laid back, I'm still going to be terrified to be there without him. I won't know what to do. Stay in our apartment? Go over and spend time with his mom? Obviously the right answer is a little bit of both, but being around people freaks me out. I'm the type of person that knew most of the answers in school but no matter how hard I tried, I could never raise my hand.
I know it's terrible to be thinking about all of this stuff in wake of this tragedy, but it's all happening. I wish I could stay here and be with him now when he needs me, but things need to be accomplished on the FL end, and I am no longer welcome at my home after the 1st. We are going to go ahead as planned and ship everything hopefully on Monday, then on Tuesday he will drive me and the cat to the airport and see us off.

I'm sure that they will understand a sudden death in the family as long as he gave them enough advanced notice they shouldn't hold it against him.

@Aki: They had him on the phone for over an hour and in the end he had to pay an extra $190 to change his flight. I think it's sick that they'll do that when someone close to you has died. I can understand paying the difference since we got our tickets so cheap, but adding an extra $50 fee? Sick. I'm disgusted with airlines.
@Cowgirl: I dunno, I think that would be rude and turns out I'm not allowed to open any boxes until he gets there because he wants us to do it together since it's out first apartment soooo I will probably be spending a lot of time with his mom, lol.
In other news, the subject of who gets his grandmother's dog, Lola came up and he was the first one to volunteer to take her, and his aunt flat out said "No. You're leaving." and wouldn't even hear him out about how we're already taking a cat as it is, and we'll have a huge yard for her to play in, and there will always be someone around to be with her AND we'd be able to get her to lose weight (she is rather portly.) He's really upset about this because we're probably in the best position to take care of a dog and he wanted to at least have something of his grandmother left. His uncle is taking her and I told him to try talking to his uncle instead and explaining the situation to him and maybe he'll see things differently.
