Passing

2003-10-22

My grandmother died today. I should feel sad. Or at least it seems like I should. But the person that was my grandmother has been gone for almost the last six or seven years. I've been mourning her for a long time.

She's been in an elderly care hospital for the last three years. I can't feel anything but relief that what was left of her doesn't have to stay in that place anymore. It wasn't a bad place. I went to see her without ever calling and announcing that I was coming, and I never saw anyone mistreated, but there is no way those places can be anything but depressing.

So I'll try not to think of her in that place, but in the place I knew her and loved her best. At home, in her yard, making things grow. She was the original gardenqueen.
