My parents just called. My grandmother passed away this morning.
I think the good things are that she didn't have to go into a nursing home, which she would have hated, and she didn't have to know about her rings disappearing.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

{{{Dana}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Dana.

Dana,
I'm sorry to hear it. I know this was not unexpected though still hard to take.
My best to you and your family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana, this is an inevitable "It's always sudden..." moment. Thanks, Joss. Succinct.
I'm going to hold your grandmother and family in my thoughts, Dana. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. She didn't need to find out all that stuff. Go out as happy as you possibly can.

Dana - I'm so sorry for your loss but glad that she didn't have to go into hospice or ever know about her rings.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Dana. I'm glad it was peaceful for her, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Dana.

So sorry, Dana.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Dana.
