life comes and goes


i was talking to my cousin, and she told me she wanted grandmom to be around for her wedding. i suppose it's sad when someone dies, but i don't know too much about that, i wasn't close to her..
but i know she was in pain after she broke her leg. i remember the car ride home, every swerve, every bump sent ripples of agony through her body. and after she got home.. i dunno, i wasn't around, but i heard her spirits were down. you know, after 83 years, you become tired.

and so, she left us. i don't feel sad, i feel glad for her, because she's done with the suffering. i smiled while in temple today, because we should really be feeling sad, not for those who have died, but for those of us who are still living.

she isn't suffering anymore.. but you can be damn sure that we certainly are.
