My grandma passed away this morning. We knew that with a rapid Stage Four lymphatic cancer, her chances weren't good. But, shit, no one expected it to actually happen and to happen so soon. She was supposed to have 3-6 MONTHS, not weeks. I still don't really believe it.
I'm going to miss her.
She was an amazing, forthright woman who didn't take crap from anyone. Between her job(s), raising five kids, volunteering on various church committees, she still found time to be a truly generous person. She was the old lady of the neighborhood who always had ice cream in her freezer, just in case any kids came by. The mother and grandmother who always cooked too much food (like double or triple what was needed) for the amount of people coming, because she wanted them to feel loved. The lady so assertive, she almost got excommunicated from the Lutheran faith. That's not to say that she was perfect - she was very inventive in her ways of getting you to agree to what she wanted (she told us grandkids when we were little that if we didn't eat her snacks, we would become anorexics and starve to death) and created messes like nobody's business. But, man, she was an incredible, awesome, powerful lady.
I dunno how I can deal without her being here.

If you see a mention of another person,
it is a figment of your imagination.
Neither you, them, your imagination, or figments exist.
