My Grandma passed away unexpectedly last week. She fell and broke her hip on Monday, went in for surgical repair the next day and passed away after a successful surgery.
We are still in shock.
We are relieved knowing that she did not suffer or have any pain.
She is up in heaven with my Grandpa Wright, reunited after many years of being separated.
I also imagine my Grandma Marge has been toting her around introducing her to all of her golfing lady friends, family, and likewise, I'm sure Grandma Wright is introducing her to all of her family and friends.
I miss my Grandma already.
make sure you hug your loved ones a little longer today,
call a grandparent, take them flowers, or dinner, or just go spend time with them.
Life can change in an instant.
Time is precious. Spend it with the ones you LOVE.
