What I've learned

It hit me last night, hard, that no matter how long a person lives it's never long enough, especially for those they leave behind. 99 years is not enough time.

Yes you can be lucky enough to have your grandma for all of your 37 years (and counting) and yes you can be comforted by the fact that they lived and are living a wonderful happy life but when it comes time to say goodbye I'm selfishly just not ready.

I know you do - and thank you. She's still hanging in there - just having a rough time the last few months. Lots of love to you both!
