sad

My gramma passed away the other day in the home where she lived with my mom and Darryl. My whole world since then has been turned upside down into a surreal existance that I've been getting through day by day breath by breath since. how does one eat an elephant? one peice at a time tiny bites tiny bites. And that's all we can do at this moment.

My sister was the one who found her Saturday morning. I think it's hit her the hardest just because not only is she realing from the death but the act of finding her was tramatic. but we've all been super suportive and things are getting better.

She's no longer stuck to a cord of oxygen and has no pain in her body. She's with her husband and parents and puppies. She was so funny. She had a great sense of humor and always had great stories of life to tell us. She was the greatest ear to our family, always listening intently to what was happening in our lives good bad beautiful or ugly. She was a rock for us all.

Reminds me of the plaque my great grandmother had in her hall that was purchased from a travelling sales man. "rock of ages cleft for me." We're holding a grave side memorial on Thursday for her. I just wanted to say thankyou to all of you who've fb'd messaged and called and emailed your support. *hugs* it's been all greatly appreciated. I love you gramma.
