Feb. 1st, 2014 08:26 amI was all ready to post in the evening about the delicious Ethiopian Cabbage Dish I was making for dinner. And how I finished the third season of "Supernatural" and finally got to Castiel. Or watching "Rent" and "Pacific Rim."
But all of that is pretty trivial. Bear's Grandma died yesterday. She was 96 years old, one month shy of 97. This wasn't unexpected. She wasn't doing well in the last month. But it is still sad. She had a long life. She was one of nine siblings. She raised a daughter. And her grandchildren have good memories of her. She was very religious (Catholic) so I hope that brought her peace and comfort. Rest in peace, Carolina.
We are going to head to Long Island on Monday to say goodbye. I will go to the wake after work, but I will have to head back to work on Tuesday morning and won't be able to make the funeral itself. Bear will go to both, of course. At least that is what we are thinking right now.
