Thank you all SO much for your condolences. I am actually feeling a LOT better about all of it.
Yes my grandma's passing was sudden but we all KNOW that was how she wanted it to be - not drawn out or painful or getting cancer or anything like that. She was 90 years old and lived independently to the very end, still had her drivers license and her car and drove it every day! She lived in a teeny town not far from me and every day she'd get in her car and go pick up her old lady friends (all of whom couldn't drive - she was their ticket to fun) to go for coffee at the local restaurant or to get groceries at the tiny local grocery store.
She was a great woman, never said a mean word to anyone, and had a strong faith in God. I know where she is and I KNOW that's where she wanted to be more than anything. I will miss her terribly but at the same time I am so happy for her knowing that she got what she wanted and didn't have to suffer.
I am not going to sit and wallow in pity or grief - I was pretty upset all of last night and this morning but after thinking about it and thinking about what grandma would want I know she wouldn't want us all sitting here and crying over her being gone. She's where she wants to be and she wants us to be happy for her - and you know what I am. I hope that I can live half as fulfilling a life as she did, and be half the example she was.
Love you Grandma xoxo
