She's gone.
She waited until my aunt left the room at roughly 4:20 this afternoon, then slipped quietly away.
I sat with her for an hour last night, listening to her shallow breathing and talking to her as she slept. I told her that we'd all be all right, that she'd raised us right, and that Scott and I would make sure everybody makes it through ok.
I hope I can keep my word.
At this particular moment, I'm afraid for the future, afraid for what the next few months will hold. In a week and a half I start another quarter close. As soon as that's done, we begin the annual push to the finish: three months of insane work pressure while simultaneously facing down tax season. Now, on top of those things, I will have the pressures of handling my grandmother's estate and trying to make sure her wishes in that regard are carried out. I don't know how I'm going to handle it all, and I don't know what choice I have in the matter.
One day at a time. All I can take is one day at a time.
