Nai-Nai

My grandmother passed away today. She was 93 and had severe dementia. We have all been waiting for her to slip away for so long – it’s been her time for a while now. Still, I’m sad. She was my only grandparent growing up and now she’s really and truly gone. I honestly thought, with all the time we had to prepare, that it wouldn’t be that hard. I guess loss is never what you expect.

Most of us grandchildren will need to fly in for the service, and the aunts and uncles aren’t in a big hurry to make it happen. Eventually we’ll come together to remember her life, but not for a little while. I appreciate that.

Goodbye Nai-Nai. Your favorite oldest granddaughter loved you a lot.

  1. I am so sorry. She will live on in your memory and in the stories you tell your children.
    Tough start to a hard week with husband away.

  2. Hope your week went well and that you get some time for you this weekend. Also hope your husband enjoyed his week and that the two of you get time for just the two of you together this weekend.

  3. I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother. I lost my last grandparent a couple years ago and it is weird to have all of that generation gone in my family.
