She's a Beauty

[tracker7]

Cute little e-card from spykeetom in my inbox this morning.  Made me smile - and a little bit lonesome.

Dad will be passing close by in about 20 minutes.  A load of BMWs for Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.  We spent some time on the phone this morning;  I'm quite often his source for directions and mileage checks.

Haven't said much of anything about this, but I think I'm getting close to losing my grandmother.  She's had a few bad spells in recent weeks, and while I've been strongly denying it to myself, she is deteriorating quickly.  She's a month past her 85th birthday, and that is a really good run, and I know that we don't live forever.  She's the family matriarch, though, and that kind of loss is not an easy thing to face.  She and I have always been close;  I'm not going to deal with this especially well.

25 days.

I am really sorry about that. Have never been able to tell if it's easier to lose them suddenly or slowly like this. I think both equally suck. I have only one living grandparent left, and she's up there (roughly the same age). She's a tough little bird, but who knows. Hang in there.
