Last Thursday my Grandmother passed away.

My family all came together for the first time in 6 years to say good bye to her on Wednesday morning.

We regret not seeing each other sooner, when before that we always had some sort of ‘family reunion’ every year.

Life happens, I get it. 6 years ago I just started working for UPS. I didn’t have time for anything else really.

Either way though, I’m at peace with the fact that my grandmother passed. I’m not saddened. I’m relieved with the fact that she is now one with the Force. Yes, I’m a nerd and I do believe that there is such a thing as the Force. It might not give us special powers, or fast reflexes, but it is something that binds us all together. She lived a long life of 96 years. She saw the great depression, watched her husband go to war in the Pacific, raised 4 children, watched her oldest son go to war, watched her children get married, take care of her grandchildren, and finally meet her great grandchildren. She was a great grandmother, who loved us all.
