I really hate doing this, but once more I need to let something out...

Another grandparent died today. Rosalina Borges (Furtado family, she kept her maiden name after marriage), born 1927 and died 2011.

I honestly must say... She was one of the kindest people I've ever known. Perhaps even the kindest one. And I'm not just saying this because she's my grandma. A country woman that spent half her life in the city, she never lost her farming habit due to a little farm she kept just behind her house. Proud mother of two, proud grandmother of seven and she loved us all.

I remember many times when I was younger, I'd sneak out of my mom's house to go see her and to eat some sweets because she always had homemade cakes, cookies or ice-cream. Oh, how I will miss those last two that brought me so much joy and happiness every time I ate them. How she loved seeing that reaction on all of her children.

Being a country woman, she took good care of herself. Ate properly, didn't have any bad habits and only had one problem. Her heart. She had a weak heart due to a bad valve and she waited years to be called for surgery, her condition getting worse and worse.

She went to the mainland last week after finally being called (and btw, this was the first time she was ever on a plane) and had surgery this monday. Surgery had been more complicated than expected due to another problem appearing but the doctors said it was a success after they put her on an induced coma. On wednesday her kidneys started failing and she got plugged to a machine. Next day pretty much everything was starting to fail and she got plugged to more machines. Today... After removing her from the coma and trying to reanimate her, doctors said that she was physically dead and the last thing to do was to pull the plug. Plug was pulled about 4 hours ago.

My old man and my grandpa must be arriving at the mainland about now and are going to the hospital asap so that my grandpa can see her one last time. Her last wish before traveling was to be cremated if she didn't make it, so that grandpa could bring her back home with him.

Goodbye grandma, all your grandchildren will miss you very, very much.

So sorry to hear that, Hiryu. It sounds like you were really close to her, and I know how it is to lose family members like that.
If I could let you bear hug me right now and hug you back, I would.

Thanks, lasses. And I'll make sure to remember that next time I manage to see you, Doc. I'd probably also get your clothes wet. And not in a naughty way.
Yes, I was very close to her. Of the whole family related by blood that lives on the island, all live on the same street except my dad. So it was hard not being close to any of them.
I now wonder how my grandpa and dad are... It was also my grandpa's first time flying. And he's probably in shock.

The thing about a pity fuck said on the first page is still on the table. <.<
Or a topless photo, ain't a picky man.

Hiryu, I do say, you have had the worst luck with elders this winter.

The pity you guys show is more than enough, compadre.

They're gonna be back from the mainland today and tomorrow morning my grandma's urn will be placed inside her mother's crypt. Gonna be by her mother's side like she asked.

Well, that's decent. I probably have a crypt somewhere in Louisiana. If I'm ever rich enough, I'd totally get a family mausoleum.

You have my sympathy, HIryu.

This reminds me of that time when I was 3 and the balloon I got for my birthday flew into the sky and I just watched and cried, my mom said it went to Jesus.

But I realize now that it just exploded and what she said was bullshit. :(

I swear, balloons floating away is some of the most depressing imagery I know.

make sure you take a black and white picture of it.


people in facebook always think a black and white picture makes everything deeper.


"oooooh look here's an empty chair in black and white? IS IT A DEMONSTRATION ABOUT SOCIAL TENDENCIES NOWADAYS THAT WE DON'T COMMUNICATE WITH REAL PEOPLE BUT DO IT VIA ANOTHER MEDIUM LIKE A PHONE OR THE INTERNET AND IT IS LEADING TO THE DOWNFALL OF HUMANITY?

Or does it mean that the chair is uncomfortable?"
