In memoriam - part two
Following quickly on the heels of yesterday's bad news about Jake, I got the news that I had been dreading for several weeks now: my Grandma had passed away as well.
I'm hurriedly making preparations to both leave for Dallas to attend her funeral and then go directly to Korea to see Cory, so I don't have time to write a proper tribute. The missive I wrote earlier this month shall have to suffice.
What I will say is that it seems cruel that the world should lose two souls who were so kind, loving, gentle, and spirited in such a short amount of time. Being kindred souls, they were great friends during their time together and I will miss them both dearly.
To Jem and Sammy who never knew Jake and my grandma and had such a short overlap in time on this earth with my two recently departed loved ones, you bring me great comfort knowing that my sorrow is being balanced by such great joy at your arrival. I hope that you continue in their legacy and live long, strong, loving, kind and gentle lives.
Peace be with all of you.
