Yaiya.
Approximately 9 minutes ago my grandmother Mary Harris passed away.
she is survived by her son (my father), 3 grandchildren (Christie, Jim and myself), and one great grandchild (Mikey, Christie's son).
She is, was the most important member of my family. She gave me the opportunity to visit Greece, gave me my first taste of Oozo, inspired me to follow my own path, pushed me to be more than what I am, and is the reason why I have been able to go to college.
She taught me so much. She gave me so much.
And yet there was so much I didn't do.
Things I wanted to do for her, say to her.
Things that I'll have to live with.
Sixteen days ago she had a heart attack which ripped a hole in her heart. Last week she made the decision not to live anymore. Today, she is gone.
I love you Yaiya. I never said it enough.
I never thanked you enough for everything you did for me.
