Today another star was added to the universe. My Grandmother, aged 88, passed away this evening in her hospital bed. She had a stone in her gall bladder that became problematic and her liver had shut down. She was admitted to a hospital near where she lived though probably never knew she was there. The doctors could not operate on her to remove the gall stone as she was too dehydrated.

Earlier today the family watched her go.

Say hello to grandpa for me. And know these tears are of joy for all the lessons you’ve given me. For all the love you brought into everything you did. For the strength you gave all of us.

The world is a better place because of you.
