the matriarch of the Naus'.
our glue.
it was such a huge shocker, seeing as how last week she was perfectly normal.
it seems like the tears pour out so much that my lachrymal ducts nearly burst.
such a bittersweet feeling when a grandparent dies.
yes, she lived a long and full life. at 83, she passed up the average.
yet, she was still the core of this network we call family.
i felt selfish for wanting to keep her alive in spite of her crippling pneumonia and weak heart. finally, i gave up and said, "ok, God, if you take her, let it be swift and peacefully".
He did just that.
i hurt. but she no longer hurts. that is the heart of the matter.
"no more sorrow. no more death. no more crying...
even so Lord Jesus, come."
