I've covered how my SG passed away in a previous post. I was upset with her for awhile because it was a preventable death. Then I was upset with myself for a number of reasons I've also talked about before. It wasn't until about three years ago that I went from angry to just sad. Because I miss her. I miss our conversations about life and her stories about growing up with my grandma. I miss being able to share things about my work with her, she was always one of my biggest supporters in that area. She was endlessly fascinated with my love for film and loved talking about that stuff. I really miss having her around for the holidays, both because her excitement for them every year was infectious and because she was the most amazing cook. Her loss is what moved me to clean up my act. It was one of the best changes I've ever made. It's quite possible I'd be dead right now had I not changed my ways. I'm definitely happier and move a little closer to contentment with every passing year, something that's always been a challenge for me. I just wish she didn't have to leave in order for me to learn that lesson.
I'm coming to the end of my visit with my family and I'm super bummed about it. I'll be back three times in the next three months but I'm still gonna miss these weirdos. This trip wasn't exactly what I expected, but it's still been a lot of fun.
