I don't post much here, mostly read. But my grandmother who's lived with me and my wife for the last 5 years, and whom my wife's taken care of, passed quietly this afternoon with me, my wife, and my sister at her bedside, in our home, just like she wanted to go.

May I say that I echo Spooky's sentiments
I am so happy it was a peacefull passing, but understand that it is sometimes still very hard to say goodbye.
Don't know if I have shared this before, but I love it! I am afreaid I don't know who the author is,

Death is just an open door

Death is just an open door
I have only slipped away
Into the next room.

I am I, You are You.
Whatever we were to each other,
That we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way
Which you always used.

Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Let my name be ever the household word
That it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere near,
Safe and Secure,

All is well.


love to all
Cathy B
