My grandma (dad's mom) passed away last Sunday night and the service was Thursday. She was 92 and the Lord was very good to her in the end. She simply closed her eyes while sitting in the recliner and slipped away. She lived alone but my aunt from Arkansas was visiting, so she wasn't alone when it happened.
Now this Sunday (yesterday) my mom's half brother calls and says my grandpa (mom's stepdad) died early yesterday morning. She's out of town and I was finally able to reach her last night. I don't know yet when the services will be. He had some blood clots that went into his lungs and he didn't last long after that. He was already using oxygen regular. Sad thing is, even w/ him on the oxygen in the house, my grandma still wouldn't stop smoking.
It's just pretty unbelievable. I've never lost two people inside of a week of each other like this. I had one absence in my heart and now I have another. I'm not one to share any of my personal business w/ the group. Maybe that's why Dave thinks I'm shy? I just felt the need to share this. Thanks for reading.
