My grandmother

10th of December, Wednesday

Sometimes, when the most horrible things happen to us, we feel them coming. But most times, it's just a normal, regular day. Like today.
  I didn't go to school, me and Anne, we went to a Rotary Christmas event, that the Greece Rotary Club hosted for special needs children. A cute little celebration with Santa and presents. When I got home, I shoveled the driveway for 2 hours. There was so much snow, and by the time I finished, 2 inches of snow fell on the freshly shoveled concrete.
  At 4:30, I was finally inside, with a well deserved hot cocoa, wrapped in a blanket, watching The Little Mermaid.
  I got a short email from my Mom, that my grandma has passed away. I skyped my parents right away. She died at around 11 pm, Budapest time. She had severe dementia for years. My parents and I agree, that she's in a better place now. I still feel very sad, but I'm also happy for her. If somebody deserves to go to heaven, she definitely does.
  She was nurse, and she was very proud of it. She was already retired, when I was born. I remember, when she took me home from kindergarten, she always used to say, we were gonna take the legbus (aka we're gonna walk). She used to let me watch TV and make me honey sandwiches and cocoa. She never wanted to sit down, when she came over to our house. We always had to persuade her, to sit on the couch. She used to take the trolley to the supermarket. She had 3 husbands, but the third one was her truest love. I never met him, but she used to talk about him.
  She died at the age of 85. She was the only grandparent I ever met, and I'm glad I did. She was a kind soul, and a great mom-grandma. I'm going to miss her. She deserves to be remembered as the great person she was.
