goodbye babcia
moneysocal is not the only one I am missing.
I'm also missing my Babcia, who died this morning. Strange, to miss someone whom you really only knew at the end of her life, in the worst days, in the times when it was all about giving and there being nothing to receive. Sitting with Babcia and caring for her in her last year here is probably one of the biggest lessons in love that I've ever been taught.
She almost died while I held her hands during a visit to her with Niki on Sunday afternoon. Very, very eerie... I have never been so close to death before.
The funeral is going to be on Monday, which means four more days of hiding the fact of her death from the people at work. They are well-meaning, but I wouldn't be able to take the torture of their carrying on and fawning over me for more than two minutes.
Although all six of Babcia's children have recently made separate trips to say "good-bye," I think that all six are also coming for the funeral. I am excited to see all my aunts and uncles in one place again. Several of them are on my heart.
