Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts and well wishes the other day for my Grandma. She passed peacefully in her sleep this morning at home. My aunt pulled her from the hospital yesterday because she was anxious and upset and nothing they were doing was helping. Her PCP agreed with that. So she got to be home and comfortable and no in pain or hooked up to any machines. It was probably just her time. She was 100 years and 10 months old. Officially the longest living person I have known.
She was my rock. She helped raise me when my mom went back to work - watching me all summer and picking me up from school every day. She taught me how to swim and sew and she inspired my love of reading and ice cream. She was the hardest working woman and she was woke before woke was a thing. She had four daughters and three preceded her in death, which is so tragic it hurts. Iām exceptionally grateful she got to live with my aunt and uncle for the last 6 years and she was so spoiled. Iām also happy she passed painlessly in her sleep. Iām devastated that covid robbed the last year of her life and heartbroken that my cousins didnāt see her in the last year. Iām lucky that my little family got a quick visit in March and will cherish that forever.
Thanks for listening/reading and for the support.

Sending you much love today. I feel your grandma and my great grandma that passed at 99 last October sound very similar in personality and spirit. It is lovely that she was able to pass in peace at home at 100 years old ā really what more could we all wish for as a way to go. She helped raise a wonderful granddaughter in you. She is definitely a woman to celebrate.
