Jun. 15th, 2007 04:51 pmWell, it's finally happened.
My great grandmother passed away last night. She was one tough lady who had a hard life and accomplished quite a bit. She and I never really saw eye to eye (to put it mildly) but she pushed me and forced me to grow strong because she knew I was going to have to face some hard times myself.
I'm upset that I never had the chance to say thank you, but I'm glad it's over. For the past year she's had to live in the hospital, not remembering the people around her and I know, that she would not have wanted that.
So I'm thankful (as bad as that sounds) that she is dead, but I'm also sad. She didn't want a funeral, memorial or anything, so we can't get together to say goodbye.
Yet tonight, I'll still raise a glass to her.
I loved her and I hope she knows that.
