"Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas"

[denny]

My dad just rang to let me know that my nan, his mum, died last night. In her sleep, of a known heart condition, but not something that anybody saw coming - she was still very perky and cheerful and there was nothing frail about her. So a bit of a shock.

She was my last surviving grandparent, and my favourite one, so this would be my sad face. I'm glad that I did at least speak to her a few days ago. I'm pretty crap at keeping in touch with family, and usually only managed to talk to her every month or so when she rang up to see how I was doing - but I just randomly decided to ring her on the way home from work earlier this week and she sounded really pleased to hear from me.

I'm off to a party tonight and will have lots of friends around me. This is a Good Thing™.

Much love. I owe you a pint or two (or pizza, or something like that) for a Good Thing you did for me a little while ago. Plus, it'd be good to catch up anyway - so if you fancy some company sometime please do let me know.

Sorry for your loss, though her death seems like it could have been quick. My gramma died last week, and my aunt is making arrangements for a memorial service. She called one of gramma's close friends only to find out she died the day after.

My gramma was my last surviving blood grandparent. I do have a nice step-grandmother still alive and kicking. =)

*hugs* and I'm glad you got to talk to your gran.

I'm glad she had a quiet and peaceful death, and also that you had a chance to speak to her not long ago. Sympathies, etc.

My last grandparent - my Nandad - died in a similar way last month so I know somewhat how you are feeling.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
