Grandma died early this morning.
As has been noted, intimated, and occasionally ranted about in this space, one could say that she has been gone for awhile. I have not felt like My Grandma Who I Know And Love has been there for well over a year, maybe two, and I have been intermittently tearful and howlish about that; and she has been in varying states of mental and physical discomfort for most of that time, which is now thankfully over; but it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference to how I feel right now.
...aaaaand I realize it's the same as when Grandpa died, so you might think I'd've known to expect this?
Funeral is Monday. Airlines are useless (dear JetBlue: plz start flying to Cleveland, kthxbye) so I guess I'm driving. I think Bud can make it. I was just musing last weekend "I should get him a tuneup in case I need to make the long trip", ho ho ho.
Gotta pull my shorts up and get to work. Later for thinking about her loving kindness, and never-failing patience, and true faith, and [aaaa stop now]
