I just found out that my great grandma just died. I guess this will just be the summer of firsts for me. I've never had a person close to me die before. She was 89 years old. She was my dad's dad's mom. I don't know why this surprised me so much, I guess she always had so much energy. I just saw her living until 100 and beyond. She was so sweet. Whenever I'd go visit her I'd watch tv with her and she'd tell me old stories about her and my great grandpa and how he fought in World War 2, and she'd take me grocery shopping with her and she'd let me pick whatever I want. And I'd always play on her piano even though I know I sucked at it. She'd just let me play on it making a god awful cacophony. This summer I was supposed to go stay with her for a while because we hadn't spent time together in so long, I guess that's not going to happen now.
It just sucks that I didn't get to talk to her more. I used to talk to her on the phone all the time, but then her hearing went out and she would lose her aid a lot so I couldn't do that much anymore. She was always so sweet, and she had the prettiest blue eyes. I used to be so jealous of her blue eyes. And they always sparkled. She was so old but her eyes always sparkled no matter what. And I remember every birthday and every Christmas she would give me and all my cousins $10. It was always $10, oa $10 gift card to Target or something.
I know she lived a long life, but it still hurts to see her go. She was the sweetest woman alive.
