I have so much to say that is not matched with any degree of readiness to say it. We buried my Memere yesterday. And I'm doing OK. But it's going to be awhile before it really sinks in. 91 years. 5 living children left behind. 14 grandchildren. 8 great-grandchildren. 1 great-great grandson. A fiance, brothers, sisters, countless loved ones remain, all with cherished memories of a true, loving matriarch. That's an amazing tally, and her passing after such a full life cannot be considered a tragedy. But knowing this is not the same as feeling it, and the sadness will stick around indefinitely. I did nothing to deserve the incredible family that I have, I was merely born into it, and I could not be more thankful for my lot. We have each other, and that's what's getting us through. Love you all, and love you Memere, you incomparable Grand Dame.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
