I can remember the death of my grandmother back in the eighties like it was yesterday. I was in the midst of one of my biggest regrets - marriage. Ex didn’t even want to come to the funeral. My grandma had been in failing health for a while, but she could have still kept on going for another few years had she chosen to. Most of us agree, though, that she resigned herself to her fate and went on her own terms. She left behind just enough religious jewelry to pay her final expenses, and that was that.
