A lot has gone one over the past few weeks, some great things and some sad things. The latter is the reason I’ve been a little withdrawn lately. My grandmother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimers and Dementia a little over four years ago, passed away last week.
Despite going to her viewing this past weekend, it wasn’t really until last night when it all hit me. It was just a month ago that my family received a call from her nursing home saying that she wasn’t going to make it through the night. But lo and behold, my feisty grandmother proved the doctors wrong. Despite her body turning against her she pulled through for four more weeks.
I don’t usually take to my blog to mention that I’m feeling sad, but I figured that this time it might be a little therapeutic. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people, but this will also explain why I’ve been MIA from gatherings.
