another sad year-ending
A little over week ago I was driving to ex's place to fetch my son, since I promised to take him to the appointment we had with ear-nose-throat speacialist. His ear infection from last spring was not healing properly, so we had another meeting with this guy.. Anyway, on my way there I got a message from my mum. She told me that just that morning my granny had passed way. First feeling was relief. Her pains were now over and she was with grandpa. Next reaction was to push all thoughts away, since I had to concentrate on the appointment. Tears came only when I got home. I sat in the middle of the floor and cried.
What brought granny's passing away more home, so to speak, was that on that day I also FINALLY got my piano transferred to my tiny apartment. The piano that my granny had bought for my mum more than 20 years ago.
While the thought of Granny still brings sad feelings and my eyes start to mist, I'm more than relieved to know that she herself had said aloud that she was ready to go. I'll miss her terribly, just as I still miss my grandpa. But I'm safe with the knowledge that they both will watch over me and my little family.
To think, that last Christmas was the last one they both were still here. Grandpa though was in hospital and never got back home from there, but I had a chance to spend that Christmas with my Granny. For that I will forever be grateful.
Oh, and the ear specialist appointment? He said after checking Boy's ears that they'd put in tubes and remove his adenoids. We also got extremely lucky since the operation was last Wednesday. I'm already noticing his hearing getting better... he keeps telling me I don't need to repeat myself so much... which has been needed a LOT during the last year.
