Just Popping In!

This morning was very hectic, but I have a lull period so I figure I should sort of explain my post from this morning! My grandmother called me this morning to tell me that my great-grandmother had died. I had been expecting it. My grandmother had called me on Wednesday to tell me that things were really bad, so we have been waiting. She took a further turn for the worst last night, so I expected to wake up to the phone call this morning. The timing is not exactly... ideal! My mother is on a cruise and won't be back until April and my uncle lives on the other side of the country. And, he is not a decision maker anyway. So, being the only person closeby I raced off so that my grandmother was not alone.

The funeral is not until the 6th. She was cremated. Have to wait until my mother gets home, of course. She doesn't even know, yet. My grandmother only told me. She didn't want to ruin my mother's trip. Now, I am trying to decide the next course of action. I actually think it would be better not to tell her, but with the obituary in the paper and the technological world that we live in I am afraid someone will get to her first without knowing that she doesn't know! My head hurts all ready. It amazes me how much my grandmother and uncle rely on my mother!

Oh, she was 101. I could not imagine being 101... One of her surviving sisters lost her son just recently to cancer and one of her brothers' wives died in February. It's been a funeral season so far...
