I'm not writing about it asking for sympathy, although I know you guys are a nice gang
Plus she led a loooooong life with her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and we all loved her. So instead of asking for pity, I just wanted to share a little anecdote about it.
Great-grandma had been doing poorly for the last few weeks, and my mom and I were talking about the possibility she could die soon. I said "she's not going to die until she turns 95". My mom goes "you can't possibly know!", and I go "just wait and see, she'll die the same day she turns 95, not a minute before".
Lo and behold, she died yesterday, on her 95th birthday. I'm telling you, she was just waiting to turn 95 to let go. Women in my family are tough!
