I skipped. But Grandma Edith passed away. I didn't post on FB because all family hasn't been told.
I would say it's unfair but she was 101. I have both my parents and my last grandparent lived to 101. So I was blessed.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I’m sorry for your loss, askye.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It's lucky indeed that she was a part of your life for so long, askye, and I'm sorry that she's gone now.

Thrive to spite them
Thank you. At one point my uncle and aunt were talking about how even though they knew this was going to happen and were prepared it still was unexpected in ways.
And I ended up saying "It's always sudden." And someone agreed.
My dad wasn't there. We had gone fishing (and actually got a call while fishing that she was slipping away) and originally wasn't going to come because he was tired. Once I realized it was really the end I called him and he came but then she slipped away before he got there.
There will be a grave side service either Wed or Thurday with immediate family & direct descendants & families. And ex wives if you include my mom and an aunt...who I don't consider an ex aunt.
And then a celebration of life later with everyone.
I brought 2 dresses down, a colorful sundress that I love and get compliments on and a black dress that is ok. I think I'm going to wear the colorful dress. I don't know if I'll be the only one in color. There is a necklace that Grandma bought when we were on our Tour of UK. My aunt gave it to me tonight and I went to put it on and the clasp broke off. I wanted to wear it and I'm still going to see if I can.
I called work this afternoon to give them a heads up. The HR manager took me off the schedule for this week. I'm going to call tomorrow and let them know and say if I can keep the rest of the week and be back Sunday.

I'm so sorry, askye. I'm glad you are with your family, though.

I am so sorry askye. I am glad you are there already and you got to see her. Colorful is good!

With the necklace, could you somehow tie it together around your neck with yarn or string or even dental floss?
