My grandma died today. She was a few months shy of 90 years old. I am so sad, I cannot believe that I won't see her again. I feel like I'm in some strange dream. She was on hospice care and has been living with my parents for just short of 7 years and on Saturday she was at my sister's baby shower, drinking champagne, asking for more, and eating little finger sandwiches. Today she died. We were with her yesterday while she was awake and eating like a horse. She said goodbye to everyone and only later realized why she was saying goodbye. She fell asleep at 2am and never came to. We sat with her today from 8:30 until she passed at 5:40pm, leaving only to use the bathroom or get a snack. It was peaceful at the end and she finally looked comfortable. I had my hand on her heart and literally felt it stop beating. I miss her so much already. She was old, yes. She was on hospice, yes. But the older she got, the more she wanted to do. Her mind was still so sharp and she loved to do nothing more than go to the bar on friday nights with my parents and see her friends and have her "pink drink". I will miss her spunky self so much. It's good to know that she is comfortable and finally able to see my grandpa after ten years.
