My gramma died today. Well, my stepmom's mom, but our family is close enough that I thought of her as Gramma Ruth. It's a good thing, really... She'd fought a long and difficult battle with cancer, and had just been hanging on for the last couple months. I think she just missed her husband so much that she wanted to go home and be with him. Finally, in her frailty, she found the strength to let go.
I'm pretty shook up today. I got the call from my dad this morning, and I had my cry quietly back in the freight room, but today I'm just exhausted. Emotionally drained and physically spent from being all cried out... I just want the day to be over and the weekend to start.
Miss you, Gramma Ruth, but I'm glad you're finally at peace.
moving on,
family
