The other night my Mom forwarded my Grandma’s obituary to me. She wanted me to read it before sending it on to one of my Uncle’s and a cousin. I started crying just as I started reading it. I suppose that’s a normal reaction. It’s been just over a month and I think of her throughout the day every day. I used to call her when I did the dishes or cleaned up the house. I don’t like doing those tasks so usually called to visit and it would go faster. I’d call to ask how to cook something, what to use on a burn or cut or what to give my kids for a cold. I called for anything and everything – and I can’t do that anymore.
I haven’t gone so far as to pick up the phone and dial. Even if I did, no one would answer because my cousin who lived with her works all day. It’s strange to not be able to call. I still think oh I should call to visit, to ask, for her to remind me – and then a brief moment later realize that it isn’t possible anymore. Of course this is hard, it’s going to be hard for who knows how long.
She always ended a call or a visit by saying “okay I’ll be here” – and now she isn’t.

This brought a lump to my throat. I don’t see my grandmother who is still alive nearly enough. I lost my other grandmother 7 years ago and can still feel the pain of that lose.
My heart goes out to you and your family and reminds me to cherish those in my life while they are still here.
