Today was the service for G.G. We decided to do the visitation and funeral all in the same day. So many dear friends and family came for one or both. Two of G.G.'s first cousins were there along with her sister. All of our immediate family of course, and so many others who loved her and who love us. Andrew and Thomas helped with the casket, and it was an incredibly bright and sunny day. If I remember correctly, the day we buried my grandfather was very similar. I spoke, along with my mother and my uncle. I loved, absolutely loved, getting to spend the day with my cousins and their kids. I'm so grateful for how close-knit our family is. That is a gift from my grandmother. She absolutely adored her family, and she would've loved today.
I don't think it has really hit me that I'm never going to see her again. I don't think it is real to me yet in that regard. I do know it was too soon after losing Aunt Cathy, but I also know that losing Aunt Cathy probably accelerated things with G.G. Today was truly a blessing.
