Well I'm at the stage of my grief where I'm accepting Grandma's death, but still blubber at every little thing that reminds me of her, like "The Price Is Right." I still watch it on occasion even though it's Drew Carey instead of Bob Barker. Grandma used to love game shows, especially "The Price is Right" and "Jeopardy." "Price" strikes a chord because I remember watching it with her when I was little. Dorky little me used to yell "C'mon Down" when Johnny Olson did (yes that dates me since he died in 1985). I talked to my mom and she and my aunts all want to wait until December to do Grandma's memorial. She has been cremated, so it doesn't matter how long we wait to do the memorial. Also it's around the time PD and I will go to Idaho for Christmas. We'll just extend our stay another day. Mom's also saving a little bit of ashes for me to sprinkle in my house plant...yeah I know that sounds kind of morbid, but then I will always have a bit of her with me. Plus, I've heard that it will help strengthen the plant.
'nuff said.
Really sorry to hear of your grandma. She's sitting right next to you shouting "Come on down!" Guess the cycle of life is harder on us who are left... Take care.
