No matter how much i
tell myself death is a natuarl part of life. It never seems to make it
any easier.
In all my knowledge of
what i think life is all about. I will always be stumped when it comes
to dying.
Maybe its simply
because its often at times fast and uncontrolable. Or maybe its just
not knowing what
happens to us after.
My grand mother was most defintely a fighter. A sarcastic one at that.
Alot of my family
thinks she was the
orginal smart ass, as well as the first hard ass in this family. She
started a chain reaction that
blew up my family like
a balloon. After months knowing she wasn't going to make it much
longer. It seems
i am be side myself.
She chained smoked for 40 something years and probably didn't have the
best diet. But
thumped her nose and
kept on any way. I wish i had known her a little bit better. But things
happen a certain
way because they have
to. It makes me wonder what her life was like though. If she went to
high school parties.
If she had a high
school sweet heart. And if that was the person she married. I wonder if
she ever felt alone, or if
she wasn't the best
person she could be. But then again my grand mother would never even
think of those things.
Because she was a bad
ass. And bad asses never mess up. They never second guess them
selves.As much as i am
losing, i think i am
gaining just as much. With her passing she is teaching me a big part of
being alive. And thats just it.
Being alive and fuck
whatever any ones else thinks. Be true to yourself and you'll never be
unhappy...
My grand mother. The original cocky bad ass. I will miss her..
