Grandma's Transition

A week ago today, Grandma S. transitioned from this life to the next. I'm alternatingly sad for me and happy for her. I wrote a little about it on Segullah last week. When I remember Grandma, I will remember Fig Newtons, HiC, my own yogurt container, Arctic Circle, the Penny Pool, Easter egg hunts, Christmas fun, generosity, her frequent soft hand presses, the way she said my name, "I can't complain," and her laughter. After her funeral yesterday, I was inspired to be more like her--more fun-loving, more attentive to the individual, more positive.
