yes what a cheerful title eh? yesterday (or rather at 3 am this morning) i was reminded (remembered) that i no longer have grandparents. my maternal grandfather passed away early this year and my paternal grandmother died this summer. i don't think i've ever really coped with either death. i was never particularly close to my grandmother; she lived in taiwan and i only visited her twice in my life. my grandfather spent lots of time with me before i started school, but after elementary/middle school he moved away and i lost touch with him. he eventually moved to dallas with my step-grandmother. but by then he had developed alzheimer's and it was painful to see him that way. it's funny i never thought about it long enough to get sad. maybe it's the recent course of events that elicits these emotions i have no idea. but when i think about it, it's extremely sobering and sad.
