So my Grandmother passed away on Tuesday March 24, 2009. It was very unexpected - she had alzheimers but other than that she was in good health or so we thought.
She fell asleep in her chair watching TV and just never woke up - if you had to choose a way to go wouldn't that be it? We're very relieved that she was able to go peacefully because when my Grandfather died in August 2007 it was more of an ordeal for him - he kept waking up alive when he really just wanted to die.
They were both Christians so those of us left behind can rest assured that we will see them again in heaven.
It's still sad to think that we'll never have a chat or a walk to feed the ducks or make a puzzle together again. But as my brother said so well - "We lost her a long time ago"
Alzheimers robs us of the people that we love so much and leaves nothing but a shell behind. It makes a mockery of that person's life and accomplishments when they look into the face of their children and say "Who are you?"
Goodbye Grandma - you were one of the best women I know and you will be greatly missed.
