Coping

At work I teach my kids coping skills. (e.g. take a break, deep breaths, etc.) But I think wine is really helpful for me. In small quantities of course.

Today my grandma Judy passed away.

Typing it makes it a little more real.

I am so glad I got to see her last week. I was able to tell her I loved her and held her hand for twenty minutes. Before that the most recent time I saw her was in March, We reminisced and talked a lot about my job as she used to work with Autistic children too.

I spent a lot of time with her while I was growing up. Some of the things I remember most are: We used to go on walks, at the park or around her neighborhood. I would bring a paper bag with me and put my "treasures" in it. We used to play pool. She had a really awesome pool table! And we always watched Dr. Quinn. :)

I hadn't seen her very much in the last few years, I'm sad about that.

I will miss you Grandma!
