it’s worth a nickel

Done

September 09, 2008 by Chris

My grandmother passed away tonight.

I feel extraordinarily fortunate that I saw her on Monday, and that she was having a good day when I was there.

I feel extraordinarily fortunate that she died at home, on her terms.

And I feel horrible for being in Austin, TX, 2000 miles away, and not being able to do anything to help.

So sorry about your loss. I know EXACTLY how you feel! I did pretty much the same thing 2 years ago.

Much of your family inherited your grandmother’s humor and resilience; I know these qualities will help you as you heal. It was good to see you, despite the unfortunate circumstances. I hope your memories bring you only warmth and strength.
