sifang jiu deng ni lai.
i never went back to sleep, which provokes the question, "hey ames, what'ya doin' up still??" why, i'll tell you, inquisitive imagination of mine.
grandma passed away today.
it feels ridiculous that i couldn't be there with her during her final moments of life. kathy needed me to come in the afternoon for a couple of hours, so i reluctantly did. as i was leaving, mom broke down and cried on my shoulder. i told grandma i would see her in a few hours. she only said, "goodbye, amy." in that moment, her delicate eyes showed me more than i've ever felt in my lifetime. i'm so glad we had her for so long.
mom called me while i was at the kennel, telling me to come home as soon as possible. when i arrived (after doing 90 on the highway), tom, april and mom were waiting outside for me. i went upstairs to see francie and only glimpsed at her body. since then, i've never cried more or harder in my life. april called lee ahead of time, and he came over immediately. he was so great tonight.
lorraine made it up, but hours too late. we talked, and she said she felt horrible about never saying goodbye. i only reminded her of everything she's done for grandmother in her times of need. it will take time for her to come to terms with it, unfortunately. but she will when she's ready.
the family went to denny's around midnight and scarfed down what could possibly be heaven's taste and hell's cholesterol. on the ride back, me, tom and april laughed about all of the songs on the music man.
jenn is moving out tonight, so i wasn't able to see her. but hopefully we'll catch up soon.
the physic has been right so far.
