Death in the family
My Bubby (Yiddish for grandmother) passed away tonight.
We've seen it coming for a while: she was diagnosed with Alzheimers several years ago and we knew it was only a matter of time.
But. Yeah. Most likely the funeral will be on Sunday. Nancy, this obviously means I won't be at Isabelle's party: I apologize.
I'm not distraught. Like I said, we've seen this coming for a while. On the other hand, I am sad. It's not a deep, gut-wrenching, cry-your-eyes-out sad, but a sort of more subtle sad. Also, in a sense, I'm relieved. I'm not entirely certain that's an appropriate emotion to be feeling, but I'm glad that she's not going to get any worse, that I can now sit back and remember the Bubby from my childhood, when she was in full control of her faculties.
So... yeah. That's what's new and exciting with me.
