My grandmother passed away today
My grandmother passed away this afternoon. She was 89 and in very frail
health; bedridden for over a year. I'm OK, sad, but relieved that she is no
longer in pain. Still, had to deal with all the funeral parlor stuff,
helping to choose clothes, telling my Mom (I was with my grandma when she
died and my mom was taking a nap), plus caring for my nephew who was
visiting my parents. Thank God my father, brother and DH took the kids to
the beach--Karla, Letty and my nephew. We had to call them and tell them to
stay away until the funeral parlor picked up the body.

DH and I took my nephew (he's 4 yrs old) along with us tonight. He lives
with his parents in Florida. My nephew is visiting at my parents and was
supposed. My sister is flying in tomorow night to an airport close to where
the wake and funeral will be held. Guess all the events have been too much
for my nephew. He started crying tonight that he didn't want to sleep at my
house. My father came to pick my nephew up, but he was already asleep. At
1am, he woke up and started crying he wanted to go to my parents house. So
I called my parents and delivered my nephew at 1:40am. DH stayed at home
with our girls, who are asleep. I'm back home and must go to sleep. It's
been quite an exhausting day.
