A passing
Edith Newsome, Bill's 97-year-old grandmother, died yesterday after another fall and surgery (broken arm this time). Bill's decided not to go to the memorial... he and Linc had a good visit with her in April.
We're all sad, but it wasn't a bad or unexpected death. I hope Linc remembers her... we'll keep showing him pictures and talking about her, that should help.
Bill and I were talking about whether to ask for any of her personal items. I think perhaps we'll ask for one of her favorite cooking tools... a wooden spoon, perhaps... something that will be in our lives daily and that will remind us of her. She was a fantastic cook and I'm so glad I was invited to eat at her table.
I've been feeling kinda old lately... creaky back and such. Then it occurred to me... I'm less than half the age she reached.
Our thoughts are with Paul and Lorraine today. I hope things go smoothly and stress-free as possible.
