The bad stuff continues...

[melcreada]

My grandmother passed away last night. But, she was very old and I believe it was her time to go. I am trying not to let it all build up. Instead I will remember happier days when we would sit at the table in the kitchen, watching with hopeful eyes as she made her famous rice pudding or, better yet, banana pudding. Her life was a hard one, very typical of a Mexican woman growing up at the turn of the century. She was a sweet, strong woman. I am not going to grieve for her, but picture her babying her flowers in front of the two bedroom frame house my grandfather and his brothers built in the 1940s. That's what I want to remember, not the bad stuff at the end.

Oh, MT, I'm so sorry to hear about your recent losses. I could almost picture you grandma from your description. I can tell that she will be very missed.

Thank you, Melissa. It's hard, but I have lots of good memories of her and that helps. My family is very close-knit and it's times like these that I'm especially grateful for them.

Thank you. I think that we just need some time to adjust. Thank goodness for my family...we are all very close and it helps quite a bit.

Since tragedies happen in 3's, I can only assume that the third one will be.....me moving in!

"Honey......have you seen my underwear....?"
"Oh, nevermind. I found it on top of the lamp."

and

"Were those cookies yours?"


You know my advice. Take any sadness and anger you may feel and channel it all into something productive---like blasting the hell out of the day managers at your meeting.

The ironic thing is that I might not even be at the meeting if they don't postpone it. I think they might since I am the main person asking for it.
