Grandma turned 90 on August 12, 2010. After she saw everyone for her birthday party at Aunt Char's house, she decided that it was time to leave us. She went to see Grandpa on August 19, 2010....just a few short days later.
I was okay with it because we just saw her and I knew it was what she wanted. She didn't want to suffer or go on living like she was (unable to fully take care of herself).
Then, I realized that I could never call her or see her sitting in her chair again. Yes, I could still talk to her I suppose, but it would never be the same.
Her Funeral was lovely (even though I was against it...why prolong things?). She would have been happy. We got so many compliments on it. We drove her past her house on the way to mass at St. Francis Borgia's Chapel so she could say goodbye and see her squirrels one last time. The Priest was really good and Megan and Ronnie sang. Mrs. Mellett passed out communion. The luncheon was at the Elm Crest on Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.
