The main reason for my absence is the death of my Great Grandmother. She and I were close and I have trouble expressing just how deeply I feel this loss. She was my confidant, my lighthouse in a storm, and I daresay, one of my very closest friends. We were true kindred spirits. I like to think of myself as her little clone, we look quite alike and were 2 of the 4 aquarii in the family (born just a week and 75 years apart). I don't really believe that she is gone, and I am waiting for that feeling of dread and terrible truth to wash over me. I spent the last couple of weeks pouring over her pictures, journal, and preparing a slide show, eulogy, obituary, and service... It was a lot to do but it kept my mind off the reality.
She took the road less travelled; As I stated in her eulogy, in her 103 years of life she she may have been old, but she was never just an old lady. She had her wits and humor till the end, and her family close by. How wonderful, to live 103 years and leave everyone wanting just one more day with you. I will always want more time with her. words cannot describe how special she was to me...
