Back to the country

Dear Readers,

I am sorry to have been gone for so long without updates.  My grandmother had passed away and I had to fly back to the Canada for her funeral.  She caught the flu and died very suddenly so it was a surprise for the family although we knew she was becoming weaker with old age.

The last time I went back to Montreal was a few years back to visit my grandma because she was ill at the time and I wanted to see her before she died.  I am glad she went away without pain this time.  She was the sweetest and most loving grandma one could ever ask for. 


This trip was draining emotionally because I had to meet with so many relatives (on both sides of my family) and there was very little time.  My company needed me back today so I only stayed five days, including the two traveling days so there were in fact only three days left to meet everyone.

I am happy to be home now.  It was nice to see my relatives but emotions were flying high and I don't like to see people cry all the time.  I thing it's important to remember the dead and to honor their memories but the living have to move on and continue life. :)

    I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother, Jane. My grandmother passed away many years ago, but I still hear her sayings in my head and think of her often. I know your memories will comfort you and I am glad you are back home.
    Take care.

    oh I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma! How lucky you are to have had such a lovely and wonderful grandmother. Neither one of my own grandmas were particularly kind, and I always envied folks with sweet, loving grandmas :) BIG xo to you.

    Sorry for your loss! Hope you will remember her with good memories, seem like you have a healthy way to look at it, to move on and honour her, instead of getting all down your self! I know what you mean, I get down very easily when other people are very sad. Hope you had a good time with your relatives even if there was very sad circumstances and very few days!
    Take care!!
