Goodbye Grandma

I was in the middle of one of my 'snooze' sessions after my alarm first went off when my mom came into my room.

She almost never comes into my room before I'm out of bed.

I knew.

"What happened?  Did grandma die?"

"Yes."

"What?!  Are you ok?"

"Yes."

And then she crawled into bed with me.  She and my dad got a call at 4 this morning saying my grandmother passed away.  The nurses had checked on her around 3:30 and had a conversation with her and 30 minutes later she was gone.

9 months ago I had 4 grandparents, and now I only have one.
I've had 4 deaths in 11 months.  

It really puts life in perspective.

How is that even possible?......

  1. I'm sure she enjoyed all those special moments over such a long period of time.
