The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

I just wanted to throw in a quick update to let you all know Grandma passed away this morning. I don’t feel like pouring it all out again here, but you can read what I’ve written about it on Everyday Randomness.

I haven’t really done much today other than catch a few hours of sleep finally, and I spent a good bit of time with my own grandparents. I always run to them when I’m upset, but today it hit me even harder because I realize how little the amount of time I have left with them really is. I didn’t end up going to court with my cousin, and she totally understood just like I would have understood if our roles had been reversed.

I’m supposed to go shopping with my aunt tomorrow. My aunt needs a new stove top, and I promised my sister in law I’d check out espresso machines since we both want one, but I doubt I’ll be going. It will depend on if Hubby chooses to take the day off work or not. He was going to come home today, but he was afraid he’d have to take a day off later in the week for the funeral, so he chose to work.

He’s just now beginning his grieving process, so I see him deciding to spend the day at home tomorrow. There won’t be a traditional funeral, and services are being postponed until Mother’s Day when the family can meet at Arlington Nation Cemetery to scatter her ashes over her late husband’s grave.
