After over six months of debilitating illness, my Grandmother passed away this afternoon. Mom called me at work to tell me that she was "dying" in case I wanted to come down. We decided to go, but she died within an hour of Mom's phone call. It takes around 2 hours to get there. I feel ok with not being there, though, because I said my goodbyes when I was down the weekend before last. I didn't really expect to see her alive again. I'm sure it will hit harder once I am down there.

Here are some fairly recent pictures of her:

I'm not sure when the funeral and such will be because it is too soon. I know that most of the arrangements are made already because she made all of the decisions back when Harold (my pseudo-grandfather) died.

I worry some about my mom returning to life after doing nothing but watch over Grandma for all these months. Mom has a lot of health problems that she has overlooked all this time. Hopefully she will get some of those things taken care of now.
