So this past Saturday early in the morning one of the residents I was really close to at Fox Run passed away with a brain anuerism. I was sooooo shocked because this lady woke up at seven in the morning everyday and walked at nine every night. She was so healthy. The day of our State pep rally, she went down and swam doing perfectly fine, but when she was getting ready for the pep rally she didn't feel well and she pulled her health cord. I guess by the time the medics got to her apartment grandma Betty was already in acoma. I miss this lady sooooo much. We called her grandma Betty because she wouldn't have it any other way lol, we liked to say she adopted all of us. I learned so much from her, her witty style and sense of humor play over and over in my mind with every spare second I have. It's so hard to lose someone that has had a profound impact in your life. I knew people who have died at Fox Run as I have worked there but I was never close to any of them, I don't even think I have lost anyone I was close to either in my life until now. She was so concerned with me and interested in everything that I was involved with. She really was there for me even when I least expected it. Whenever I went to work out she would be at the front desk speaking with Mary the receptionist. I am really going to miss the look on her face when she saw me and how good that made me feel that someone was so excited to see me and talk to me and actually get to know me. I kind of feel like life is rough right now and to lose someone who I cared for so much is really hard. I went up to her apartment the day she died and met her daughter son in law and grandson. Seriously the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I went with Megan Steele and we were talking fine one moment and the next Megan broke out in tears and I followed, I couldn't stop thinking of her and how shocked I was that she is gone. There were pictures and her memories floating everywhere. We also found out she is donating ALL of her money to the scholars fund at Fox Run for us students attending college. She is so amazing, I really will miss her. Anyone who works at Fox Run, I started a fund to buy grandma Betty something nice for her memorial in a week, she really deserves something, it's the least we can do. Get a hold of me if you want to donate $10. Well this is all for now before I freaking start bawling again. I miss her.
