And I am having a rough time here. I saw my dad yesterday and he asked if I wanted to go down to see her as she'd asked if I might come down soon(she's in the Bay Area--about 2 hours away), and I was hoping to go today or tomorrow. We were supposed to celebrate her birthday on Saturday, even though she's been in and out of the hospital with all sorts of problems. She would have been 80 this weekend.
I feel so badly that I did not get down to see her before she passed. She and my Grandpa came up a lot to stay at my parents house, and I just took for granted that I got to see her so often. When she became ill and had been in and out of a hospital and nursing home, I didn't think too much of it. She always got better. She's a strong Italian woman, raised 7 great people and has been married for 50+ years. She was the center of the whole family and now she's gone.
We are still going on Saturday to a party, but I guess we'll be celebrating the woman she was.
I am so sad and angry at myself for not taking the opportunity to see her while she was not well.

I'm sorry about your grandma. It is so hard losing someone you think would always be there and always has been there, isn't it?
