Sad News
I know things are usually pretty goofy around here, but unfortunately this post is not. Yesterday morning my grandmother, my dad's mother, passed away. She hasn't been in the greatest of health the last few years so this isn't a case where it was completely unexpected. Of course that still doesn't make it easy to take.
My grandmother would have been the first person to tell you that she lived a wonderful life. She knew that she was blessed in a lot of ways. And she was the most positive and optimistic person I have ever known. Despite being in quite a bit of pain the last few years, I never once heard her complain about it. She served as a great example of an attitude for me to aspire to. She was loving, kind, and generous, and I'm going to miss her a lot. I'm grateful that we were able to be together as a family this past Christmas.
So I probably won't be around much until next Tuesday. I'm pretty sure the Internet will still be here then. Peace.

Hey all, I'm checking in from the Huntsville Alabama public library! Thanks for all of your comments, they mean a lot to me and this is one of the positive sides of blogging to be able to connect in this way. I only have 45 minutes remaining on the computer, and I have to do my homework, so I better run for now. Thanks again!
