By the Ass-Monkey's Command...and Goodbye to a Wonderful Woman.
Here's a new post, by my friend the Ass Monkey's command!!! I know, but I needed to let the Guide sink in for a while. Hee hee...
So my Grammy died the night before last, at 10:35 PM Pacific Standard Time, on February 27th. She was very ill and in hospice care, and I was waiting for the call for a week. She had been asleep since last Wednesday. The day before that, she was awake and talking more than she had in a while. She told my mom that she didn't want to die. Then she said "well maybe I can do it glamorously." That's so her. So when she was dying, my mom kept telling her that she was doing it glamorously. I love my mother. I want to be that good to her when she's going, and long before that.
My family was blessed with an overdose of love. We have huge hearts and we're very compassionate, and my grandmother passed that onto all of us. She had her faults, like everyone does, but loving too much was NOT one of them. Below is a list of what she taught me, by her example.
Things I Learned From My Grammy
1. Love as much as your heart will let you.
2. Play games until you can't play anymore.
3. Appreciate your surroundings. Admire beauty.
4. Be glamorous at all times.
5. Don't smoke.
6. Don't drink to excess.
7. Exercise regularly.
8. Read, read, read.
9. Be there for your family. Be generous.
10. Forgive and move on.
11. Fight for what you believe in and for what you want.
12. Say I love you every day to the people you love.
My grandmother's last years were hell, and I would never have wished them on my worst enemy. I hope that wherever she is now, she is comfortable and content and surrounded by love. I hope that if she was reincarnated, she will take advantage of the things she did not in this life. I hope she takes better care of herself. And I hope she loves just as much as she did here.
I love my Grammy so much, and I miss her dearly. But I'm glad her struggle is over.
Goodbye, Grammy, and thank you for everything you gave me and all the love you poured on me.
Your Yayden.
