Well...shortly after I hit submit to my last blog, the phone rang.
My grandma finally went to heaven. The dream she's had for a long time.
I'm numb, angry, sad, and a few other varying and sundry things.
DH did me a favor and called in sick today. Mostly I think I would be fine, but I told him I didn't want to try it.
I'm glad she's released from the life she was living, I'm sad she lived that life the last few years.
I just finished reading letters she sent to me her last two "good" years...and was amazed to remember she was 75 when she wrote those.
Raising chickens, building projects, garden growing, loving her kittens, teasing my dad, chauffering my cousins, and quoting Scripture.
I want to remember that, and not the long slow goodbye.
But....
