This is one of those posts I don’t know how to write. My family lost someone this weekend. I never took it personally that Grandma D. took her time getting used to my brother and sister and I when my mom married her son 18 years ago, because once she let us in, we were in. She wasn’t very big on expressing her feelings, but she did thoughtful things like remember my favorite kind of bread and make sure it was there on the table every time I went to her house for dinner. Something feels a little unreal about death when you’re so far away from it, and she requested that there be no memorial, so I won’t be going home to Washington. But my thoughts are with my family tonight.

I’m sorry Ashley. Wishing you and your family well.
So sorry to hear about grandma :( sometimes actions speak louder than words and the power of love never fails
Positive energy to you and your family.
I wonder why she wasn’t expressive.
Beste Ashely,
My profoundest condolences that you will not be celebrating the life of a family member with your nearest and dearest.
You have in a small way given her memory reverence in your own written memories.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Be strong.
