Death Comes Once Again (From An Old Blog)

Well as most of you know already, my grandmother died Wednesday night. I did get to spend some time with her that night before she died. She had Alzheimer's and we knew she was going to die for a while but it still hurts when we lose the ones we love. I know she's in a better place and that we can never know why these things happen (in this life) but we were close and I miss her very much. In fact I've missed her for years now. She will never know my wife (whomever she is), she won't get to meet my kids, and I won't be able to see her again. As it was put recently by my mom, the week at my Nanny's house during the summer was the coveted week of the year. Every year that I can remember, except for the past two, she was there on my birthday celebrating my life and now I have to celebrate her life for the final time on Monday May 5th. That is going to be an extremely rough day for me. I've been asked to say something about her at the funeral service and I haven't been able to write anything down yet. I am hoping that I will have a chance tomorrow. I love you Nanny, and can't wait to see you again someday in Heaven.
