Heaven got its best angel this morning when my grandmother passed away.
She was 80. It was expected, really. Not the actual day, obviously, but the reality that death was closing in hit about a year ago and continued up to present, when she was in and out of the hospital and nursing home all the time. I guess i've been bracing myself for it since then. It is what it is, i suppose. I think she lived her life well and made a difference in many lives. Honestly i think i was the closest to her, at least of the grandchildren. I have no regrets about anything with her, and i hope no one else does, either. I've gotta believe she's in a better place now anyway, where she can live eternity out with her husband, parents, brothers and son. We'll join eventually. A nursing home doesn't sound like an awesome place to spend years of your life, anyway. At least it's somewhat easy for dad and Uncle Glen, because she wrote her own obituary and left detailed plans of what she wanted done. I had the strangest dream this morning involving death too, it was so bizarre.
I love you Grammy, rest in peace.
