She was 103 years old.

I lived with her through my adolescence. That was really difficult because she had dementia. My mom was sad that she couldn't say goodbye but I'm not sure it would have been good to do that. My sister is gonna be really sad.

She lived during two pandemics and was the hardiest old woman I've ever known. She would go outside and just dig shit up well into her late nineties.

Sorry for your loss, but take solace in the fact that she got the most out of life.

All I really care about is being there for my mom and sister. My. mom said not to fly in for a funeral but idk. I'm not much for that kind of thing but I do believe in the symbolism and finality of this journey we went on together. we being my mom, my sister, and me.

I found out the funeral is on Thursday. It seemed to soon for me to travel so I figured I'd skip it but my mom called me crying today about her not being involved in the funeral planning.

So, I just dropped $430 on a roundtrip ticket leaving tomorrow. I was there only three weeks ago. I figured I'd regret it if I didn't go.

That open casket is gonna be something else I tell ya.

I got this call in cartoon grad school (a real thing)

My mom's boyfriend took me to a strip club when it was too early for anyone to be there

For some reason this was not an issue

the funeral was today. many fun stories were told.

we almost dropped the hearse because two bearers are in their eighties.

I hope I didn't get covid from my cousins, some of whom didn't get vaccinated.

Oh, that's a lovely memory.

Glad your grandma's pallbearers made it through. Coffins are fucking heavy, apparently.
