death in the family

[cimorene]

my and kitten_head's great grandma died last night.

her mother's pretty upset and i bet mine is a crying mess too.

neither of us really knew her that well, but our mothers spent substantial amounts of time on her farm as children. i think it was kind of a refuge. they have tons of fond memories of her.

don't worry, i'm not really broken up. she was pretty far gone.

I always feel like I have to say something, even if I don't know someone well, about entries like this.

However, I have no idea what.

I'm sorry. :(

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you feel that it was her time.

it may have been past it. we had a couple of scares earlier this year, where by 'we' i mean my mom and her siblings. (i wasn't scared.) they called in the middle of the night once THINKING she was gonna die. there were daily progress reports for a while.

She's been ready to go for a while now, I guess. She's been hinting at it for weeks saying she was just "tired." That's what my mom says. I still was hoping to get to see her one last time first...

yeah, i know how you feel. i'm glad my mom got to see her one last time.

last time i saw her i sort of expected it WOULD be the last time, actually. i had that in my mind because i was planning to already be out of the country by now.
