Grandma Joan passed away around 1PM today apparently due to her body rejecting her insulin.
I know old people sometimes get to be a real pain in the ass, and grandma, with her high expectations and constant sense of disappointment, was no exception. Unfortunately, that has led me to feel the relief of a burden lifted off me upon learning of her passing.
Many of the years gone by were better, though, and as these last few fade from my memory, I hope to keep the better times close to heart, and to enjoy those other memories instead.
I am sad and disappointed that I feel relief right now. I feel as though the air in my lungs is penetrating deeper than it has in years.
A new day tomorrow. And perhaps, in the coming days I can write more. Grandma always promised she would haunt me after she is gone. I’ll be watching for her.
