Family

My grandma passed away three days before Christmas. Since, I dedicated this blog to her, I thought it fitting that I say a few essentials things about her. My grandma was a very quiet, reserved kind of person, as a child I actually thought she didn't like me. I found out in later years, that was just her way. She never complained when she was sick, broke, tired, (usually of screaming children Im sure), she just accepted all. Now, in her passing, I realize how much she truly loved us. I can only hope I'm half the woman she was someday. My Mom seems to be taking this the hardest of anyone, maybe it's because she's the baby, or just that I know her better than other members of my family and the grief is more clearly read. I wish there was something I could say to comfort her, but there isn't. Although, whether I'm dealing with my grief seems cloudy in my mind. It's entirely possible I'm in denial and sometime in the near future it will hit me like a mack truck, who knows. I surely don't, but I do know my grandma was much loved, and will be sorely missed.
