My Grandmother passed recently (last Thursday to be exact) and it had never occurred to me how close we really were until I realized that I would never see her again. I mean I am sad but not depressed because I have accepted death as an inevitable event that will occur in all our live and I have grown to expect it even if I am not ready to accept the possibility of the end. I know when people die very often family member have regrets and wish to change or get a do over or one more chance. I can't help but wonder why does it take death for someone to feel regret or remorse for a past deed when we all know death is promised and sometimes arrives unannounced. You should cherish your loved ones as if this was possibly the last time you would see them.
So I traveled back home to saw goodbye to my grandmother for the last time and to share some laughs and memories with my family and friends. I say to them I will try to visit next year but you never know I may not make it so before I go I try to hug and kiss as many as I can so that there is a positive last memory of me like I have of my Grandmother.
