You will be missed Grandma Pearl

My husband's Grandma died this week. It is sad. She was 93 and was always very nice to me when I moved to Columbia. No judgements. Just accepted me into her family. It is funny what you find out about family when they die and you read their Obit in the paper. Why doesn't anyone tell you about your family why they are alive. When people die, it makes you think that you need to Live every day to the fullest. It reminds you that you have family that you need to stop taking advantage of and go see. You always hear people say things like "you will be missed" but in reality, if you never went to see them while they were alive, the person that died had probably already started missing you. People get upset with themselves because they let so much time go by, they stopped sharing their lives with people, they stopped visiting with people. OK, maybe a text now and then ... but that is not real communication. People have so much to give these days (and i don't mean money or objects) and we just don't take the time to find out what it is. What are we so busying doing? When I get back from Columbia, I am going to visit my Grandma. I MISS MY DAD. Don't wait too late to get in touch with, go see ... or just call and talk to that person, the one you assume will always be there. Make amends. Say your sorry. Get back in their lives .... before you are saying about the next person "you will be missed" or "I should have visited more." Thank you for accepting me into your family Grandma Pearl.
