The end of an era. Loved her tennis and a cigarette. Hellyeah.

End of an era indeed. My last one passed a few years and still think and talk about them often. I hope you find many ways to keep their memories and legacies alive.

Yesterday night i went with my girl to see a jazz trio in this gorgeous small place nearby. The leader was a great pianist and singer who might have around 80 years old and had the energy of a teenager.

Music was great and dinner too.

my condolences Ello. when i lost my last grandparent i threatened her. she was in hospice after a stroke and couldnt talk and she was asleep. it was a day or two before my birthday. i quietly told her if she passed on my birthday i would never forgive her. she passed quietly 4 days after my birthday

hate old people? i am old people. and it is my gram. loved her lots and she was the only one in my family that got my sarcasm. when i would say something to someone at the family gatherings she always nudged me with her cane and had a sly grin

also of note this is the same grandmother who i would take grocery shopping then out to eat every friday. One time at wendys she choked for a second on a fry and i panicked. all i could think of was gram is going to die on my watch.

from that point on each time we went out to eat she would fake choke to scare me
