Hi y'all.

My grandmother passed within the last month or so. So there I found myself, standing in the anneX of the baptist church, looking around at all the people I didn't know, and thought of this. (It's taken me a while to get around to it, however.) I loved her dearly, but rarely had taken the time and spent the money to visit. Two or three visits a year wasn't enough, but was how things tended to work out. I wish we had gone to see her this summer, as it was her last, but I'm also glad 4 the good memories from Christmas. Ultimately, she had peace with God through Jesus, so that was good, and I'll see her again at some future point. She adored reading and seeing the wonders of naturE. She was a marvelous cook and had a great sense of humor. Her cookies were far better than anything you could buy in a store. Hearing her reminisce was always interesting--not always the particular story itself, but the way she related it. I'm glad her mind lasted until the end. Even if she didn't understand--or was utterly bored by--our interests, she was always supportive and interested for us. I'll miss her. I'm grateful for her life and all the good memories. She was always gracious, a lady, and I don't know if I ever heard her say anything purposely unkind. She's in heaven, so she's not falling anymore, and not tired all the time. She was eager to help where she could, and so caring. She considered her in-laws as family. She was skilled at needlepoint. (I've found peace, but I worry somewhat for Grandpa. He told us that she was his best friend for well over 60 years. Their marriage was in many ways a fantastic example to us who observed it. It was said at the funeral that their marriage and bond was so close that the kids, looking back at childhood, couldn't easily tell what was Grandma's influence and what was Grandpa's. He never complained about helping her in her failing years but, when he had had a medical crisis of his own, his primary thought was of her, and who would care for her.)

I made this short train and puzzle in her honour. She didn't care about computer games, but always took the time to watch if one of us grandchildren wanted to show her something in one of our various games.
It consists of seven carts, spread across levels one through seven. Also included: a few questions, and at least one comment on a game.

PS: Thank you all for your kind comments; I don't promise to respond to them, but I will read them all.

Thank you for the train and sorry for your loss.
I've now lost all my grandparents but that does not help me write any good reply. Hope you are as okay as it sounds

No worries, i never know what to say, so I understand.
I'm doing okay, most of the time. I finally got the courage to watch the vod of the funeral, and that was surprisingly hard.

It's just that you reminded me how important it is to stay in touch. SG is the last place I expected this. Thanks for that.

When I saw the title for your train, I told my wife "awww, listen to this sweet sentence". Then I read of your grandmother's passing. and my heart broke for you. I'm happy you saw her last Christmas. Be sure to visit your Grandpa often, as he may need it, and you'll treasure the time spent with him.

Thank you. Maybe I'll write up something for my grandpa while he's still alive. But not right now.

My condolences. Your grandmother sounds like she was an amazing person. I hope you find some comfort in the good memories you keep. I believe many of us wish we could find more time but it's good to cherish the time we did have too.

I am very sorry for your loss, but the way you write about your grandmother tells me you truly loved and appreciated her. And even if we always realise too late that we should have spent more time with our loved ones, I am absolutely convinced she knew just how much you adored her.

It's not just the amount of time we spend, it's the quality and the intensity. 💗

My condolences on your loss. I am glad to hear that you had a good relationship with your grandmother. I did not have a great relationship with any of my grandparents and kind of regret that. Thank you for the giveaways

Thanks for the chance man, i was thinking about sharing my experience with dealing with the passing of my grandpa, but i realised that it happened so long ago that it would be insensitive to compare it to your experience, i just know i miss him so much and i can't even imagine how much you miss your granny right now, thanks for sharing, i send much love to you and your family, try to keep your grandpa company, it won't be easy on him either.

it's not insensitive in the slightest.
Thank you very much, and we'll try to keep him company (without smothering him, either, as he'd just push us away if we did.)
Dad says he's doing well enough, at least on the phone.
