Thanks for sharing this Cindy…we can still feel your pain and loss in the writing.

I lost my maternal grandmother more than ten years ago. She lived in Mexico City, so I really only saw her during summers as a teen or when on occasion we would fly down for Christmas. An aneurysm. Very quick. Just glad she did not suffer too much. Was devastated, of course when my mom told me over the phone. I just cried and screamed into my pillow.

Four months later, visiting my aunt and cousin in Mexico City, the house in which my grandmother lived..I couldn’t help but break down again…felt bad that I wasn’t able to go to the funeral with my mom and just for the general sense that she was really gone. Walking into her home and knowing she wouldn’t be there was devastating all over again.

God bless and your family as you remember your Grandma.
