So far, 2008 has not been so good. My grandma died this morning. And although it was expected, we were all taken a little off guard. She was very old and she didn't know most of us anymore, and she was unhappy a lot, so I can't say that I'm sorry she has passed.

Thank you. It's weird that I was closer to my grandma than my cousin (who recently passed) but my grandmother's death doesn't upset me as much. I guess because she lived such a long, full life; it wasn't as tragic.

Thank you - we are trying to do it all quickly. My sister is the very best; between her and I, we are doing all the practical cleaning/calling/driving/gathering photos type stuff that Mom isn't quite up to handling. If I had to do all that by myself, I'd be pulling out my hair.
