My grandmother (Dad's Mom) died on Tuesday.
She was the last of my grandparents.
I only have two regrets about her (I can't really call it sudden, but I wasn't expecting 'now') death. The first is that the last time I saw her I snapped at her and left before saying anything else like "sorry" and "I love you". And the other is that she will not get to hold or meet her 3rd great grandchild (never having been given the cance to hold the other two).
All pretty much selfish reasons.
She finally gave up the fight. She has been living with Emphysema and Congestive Heart Failure for over a decade along with multiple other problems. She was a tough cookie. For the last 5 years she has been living with my parents. She didn't make it easy, constantly complaining and making demands. But she was loved unconditionally by us all.
Tuesday was a very caotic day to say the least. But now finally and most hopefully the last of my grandparents, the one with the longest and most difficult struggle can be at peace.
Rest in Peace
