The funeral is over. Grandma is no longer in the world of the living. No longer where we can see her, or share a cup of tea with her. She is in a box, in a wall on the other side of town.
It doesn't seem real that she is gone. I have no more grandparents. My mother has no parents now. My father has no parents. They are for all intents and purposes orphans.
On the way home from the wake this evening, my brother and I were talking about it. Now the next set of funerals we will have to go to will be our aunts and uncles, and our parents. We are theoretically only one layer away from death.
I am totally bummed.
Totally.
I did however receive a wonderful e mail from a dear friend, that expressed everything about how it feels. I read it as the eulogy today in front of over 100 people. I think gram would be proud.
Gram, I miss you. I love you.
