So, gran called tonight. Great-Grandma's had a stroke. They called my aunt and she's gone up there-- Gran also left to spend time with her. It's not good.
She probably won't last. She'll be 101 in something like a week. She might be. I don't know.
I should feel sad, I know. But she's had a long, wonderful life and she hasn't been herself for at least five years. She hasn't been much of a person, even, for the last two.
I still love her, of course. I used to go to her apartment-- she had a closetful of toys, I clearly remember a doll that was my mother's and a neon green teddy bear. We played with them for *hours*. And she made wonderful refrigerator pickles. She could twist the cap on so tightly that my dad could barely open it. And she was in her eighties!
We'll hear more tomorrow. I think I'm gonna find that teddy bear. She gave it to me when she moved out of that apartment.
