Shock

So, my cell phone rang tonight. I knew it was my parents calling, and at 9:20 pm, I knew it wasn't good. My mother told me my grandmother was gone.

Now, my father's mother has been pushing death for a while now. She's been ready to die for quite some time. So, I've just kind of been waiting to hear that phone call.

Then my mother said, "It was my mother." And it took a few seconds for it to sink in what she was telling me. It was totally unexpected, and I am heartbroken. As my mother said, she's with Jesus now, and we'll get to see her again one day. In the mean time, though, we still have grief at her passing.
