Saying goodbye again :( :( :(

Don't have much time or energy to write too much on the topic right now, but today we lost my grandmother due to a massive brain aneurysm she suffered sometime on Sunday. Willy and I were in San Diego at Michele and Brian's wedding and got the call from my sister at 4am PST Monday. Luckily we were on a flight back home at 8am PST that day anyway so we went straight to the hospital to see her. She never regained consciousness after the aneurysm--which caused massive damage to her brain including bleeding and swelling to the extent that it was pushing against her brain stem--but we are grateful that we got a chance to see her before they removed the tubes this afternoon that were helping her breath.

We are more grateful that it was just last weekend that we got to spend some time with her when she was at our house for a family BBQ. The hard part is that this is all very sudden--she was otherwise very healthy; 100% mentally alert, aware, and capable; walking unassisted at the age of 87; etc. There are some things I had yet to learn from her like her incredible knitting skills and the delicious dumplings she used to make that were my favorite...just didn't see this coming.

Rest in peace, grandma. Thank you for everything you've done for us, helping to raise us from the second we were born. We'll always love and remember you.
