I was supposed to go to my grandmother's on Monday to mow her lawn, but she wasn't there. Turns out she had been hospitalized. I visited her on Tuesday. She was having chest pain. The doctor told her it was just a weird heart rhythm and she could go home on Wednesday.

Then on Wednesday morning she had a heart attack. Somehow, she survived it. She was responsive until about 5PM Wednesday, at which point her blood pressure got so low she lost consciousness.

She didn't wake up again. She died at about 2:30 this morning.

I really expected her to live a lot longer. She was 88 and her sister died last year at 95. She had also wanted me to take her to pick strawberries on Monday; she was going to make strawberry jam and had everything ready for it.

Last week, she said she wanted to make me a dress for my cousin's wedding, and my first thought was "Jesus Christ, how am I going to get out of wearing a dress to this?"

Wearing a dress wouldn't have been so bad.
