End of an Era

My Grandmother, Anne

 

My father called me again with that tone of voice. Grammy died last night from a stroke. Alzheimer's took over quite a few years ago now, and she had been having some serious health issues in the past few months, had fallen several times- the usual ailments of those to 90. Aunt Carol had been the primary advocate for Grammy since this all started to happen- the only one who was local in Pittsburgh. It's been tough on her, but she'd been The Pillar of Strength.

Anyway, I know what happens next, I just don't know when I'll be in Pittsburgh. I'm... just here. Can't do anything, can't help. I wish I was already at my parents' house baking cookies or something.

Can this please stop for a while? A month or two? .... No? Yeah, I thought not.
