Sad News

I was intending to make this an entry with some photos of things I've finished off the last couple of weeks and a progress on how I'm going on this baby blanket I've started. That was the plan this morning when I woke up. Now, however, I'm not going to do any of that. After getting up this morning I'd planned cleaning throughout the morning, going for a long walk with Dakota and then sitting down and updating this blog, but instead I've been thinking about my grandmother. You see I got a call from my dad this morning saying that his mother passed away during the night. She'd had surgery earlier this week on her liver and intestine, and she was doing ok until yesterday when they were having trouble stabalizing her, so they were going to move her to another hospital where they could monitor her heart better. She didn't make it through the night. Last year she'd had heart surgery and was recovering nicely from it after it being touch and go for several weeks after the surgery. She was also having problems with her blood having developed Diabetes after the heart surgery last year. I've now only got one living grandparent, being my maternal grandmother, having lost my paternal grandfather 12 years ago in July and my maternal grandfather 8 years ago in August. I know this is how life goes, but it's still very sad for everyone involved. I know my grandmother lived a full and happy life, she'd have turned 84 this year. Thanks for listening and I'll be back soon to give you those other updates I mentioned before.
