I fell asleep pretty early last night. It was probably around 6 or 7 when I laid down in bed to watch my new CSI DVD from Netflix. Disc 8 of Season 2. I think it's the last disc in the season, I always feel somewhat accomplished when I finish a season too. Earlier yesterday I had gone out for my favorite drive around Wooden Valley Road and just as I turned a corner there was a hawk sitting in the middle of the road, just hanging out. He slowly opened his wings and flew right over my car. It was pretty cool, his wingspan was easily 8 feet, maybe more. I love all forms of nature.
As I had mentioned in my last entry, my grandma was pretty sick. Well, last night at 7:40PM she past away. I talked to my mom this morning before leaving for work since she was there when she died. She said the doctor was talking to her and my aunt about doing an autopsy on her since that's the only definitive way to tell if she really had Alzheimer's (which she did) and just as the doctor asked my mom there was an earthquake. A small earthquake, I actually felt it myself too. My mom smiled and said "I think she just answered for us." So no autopsy on my grandma. I prefer that myself too. They don't need to start cutting into her. I love my grandma very much. I thought a lot about her yesterday before I got the news and she's going to be in my thoughts for a while to come now. I realize also now that my mom and all her siblings no longer have their parents. My grandpa died 6 years ago and now my grandma yesterday. I don't know how I'm going to feel when MY parents die. I don't even want to think about it. Life is such a fragile thing. Rest in Peace Espi.

Argh, I've never been good at this stuff. I never know what to say. I was recently in the same boat. I have a blog from several months ago I wrote after my grandma died. It wasn't fun.. or easy. But I wish the best for you and your family.
Stay strong.
