My grandmother passed this morning at 2am. My aunt was there when it happened and we showed up ten minutes after her passing. Lots of tears. Lots of waiting. Lots of fumbling about what to do next, who to call, where to start, how to feel. The rest of the day was lurching from one numb event to the next. All sense of time out the window. And we grieved together but also on our own stormy islands.

I'm glad we came. She was worth it all and more. I love you Mimi. I'm glad you were ready and that it was fast.

In lieu of the passing of my grandmother, I'm reposting a picture from 8/5/18
I think it best represents the "epitome" of my grief
