Another Goodbye

Well, my Grandmother died today.

My poor mother sounded so very sad on the phone. It's my job to tell my siblings, but OF COURSE neither one of them is online or answering a phone.

I think she couldn't breathe any more. She was only really in pain for a short time, thankfully.

I am sad for my mother, and worried about my Grandfather. I guess some sort of funeral will happen. I don't know when.


Death in the spring seems sadder. It's like, we all lived through a cold hard winter, and now that things are renewing themselves, it doesn't seem fair that life should come to an end before the flowers bloom. It's been so many months since flowers have bloomed outside - and just as they are starting to poke their heads through the thawing earth, my Grandmother has died.

She made it through the winter. She should have been here to see the flowers.
