Farewell to a lady

It has been a bitter-sweet weekend. It was Dylan's birthday and then on Sunday night my gran passed away at 8:30 SA time. We got the call at 3am . She has been bed-ridden for a long time and it is not unexpected. That does not make it any easier though. We were especially close when i was a child and she taught me so many things. It is really dificult being so far away now. we were there at Christmas and said our goodbyes as we were not sure that we would see her again. At least the whole family was together for her last Christmas. If i were to sum my gran up in one word it would be " lady". Although she has not been herself for a long time and i know that this is better for her in a way , i will miss her!
