7 years ago I lost a dear sweet friend. My grandmother was a fantastic woman who taught me more than I will ever be able to remember.
I know that 7 years seems like a short time in some respects and a long time in others, but this time I don't know which it is.
Part of me is used to the fact that she is gone. Another part of me can remember the phone call and the wake and the funeral like it happened last week, 7 days ago, not 2002, 7 years ago.
Thank you's are in order for my friends that were there during that time and family that put aside differences to be there for each other.
And thanks continue to be given for the woman that we knew and loved and cherished to this very day.
If ever you pass through Maple Leaf, Ontario feel free to say hi while you're driving. She may not answer back, but I'd appreciate it.
Earlier today I felt like I had a heavy heart. And that was in fact the case. But I'm trying my best for it to be filled with love and memories instead. That's what she would have wanted.
Thank you for permitting me this out pouring of sap and emotion.
