My Mom-Mom (thats grandmother for the uncultured) passed away.
I never feel the big stuff like this right away. I think some of us are just wired this way naturally. It used to freak me out a bit, make me think I didn’t care. Now I realize it’s just nature’s way of making sure there’s someone to serve the food at the funeral.
She had the biggest smile, loved children, made you feel at ease, laughed a lot, appreciated dirty jokes, cooked like nobody’s business, loved her dogs, knitted masterfully, was full of the cutest sayings, played the organ, loved her soaps, and loved to give gifts.
My Mom-Mom was the best. Both her and my Pop-Pop. Then had 52 wonderful years together before he died in her arms, and now I’d like to think they are somehow together again.

Peggasus added these pithy words on Nov 09 04 at 10:51 amI’m sorry about your grandmother. She sounds like the best kind of grandmother. You were lucky to have had her around for part of your adult life. And yes, I believe they are together again, and she’s happy there.

I’ve lost many people in our family in my short time here on Earth. My heart is with you two. It sounds like she left you a plethora of memories to cherish the rest of your life through. I’d like to recommend posting a dirty joke in honor of her. This way your Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop can share a smile and laught with you.
Love,
Tammy

You know Ed, I don’t feel sadness very much either when it comes to someone dying, I get knida numb…
Natalie added these pithy words on Nov 10 04 at 10:53 pmMy sympathy on your loss. I went through the loss of my grandmother recently, too, and had similar feelings about it. I guess I figured that after 84 long, life-filled years on this planet, it was her time and she was cool with it. If they’re okay with it, how can we *not* be? I think the most important thing is that she knows you loved her so much.
