Lost my grandma last night. She'd been in the nursing home for the past 11 months, and finally succumbed to the various illnesses and ailments that were relentlessly attacking her system. I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm also a bit relieved because I hope she can find peace now.
She lived to be 87, and May would have been her 63rd wedding anniversary. She raised four very capable and successful children, so I'm sure she had no complaints on her way out.
I'll miss her. She opened her doors to my family when my mom left my father and we had nowhere to go. We ended up never leaving. In a lot of ways, she was a surrogate parent for me growing up since my grandfather was often out with his own affairs (in more ways than one) and my mom had to hold down a couple jobs so I'd always have clothes and meals and everything.
I figured I'd have more to say, but the shock still hasn't worn off, I guess. She's been a major part of my life for the past 18 years, and it's really hard to believe she's not here anymore.
RIP Grandma
