That sucks holmes. Give yourself time to grieve ya know? Don't bottle that stuff up. Grandmom lived a long life and has lots of people to remember her for a long long time.
I'd take your cloud but somehow I already have about 5 peoples' it seems. But I do it for my peoples'.

... it's your (grand)mother" - as the saying goes.
My grandmother had a heart attack on Tuesday and died this morning at 72. She leaves behind her husband of 50 years, 11 children, 14 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchldren. Mom is the oldest of her generation, and I am the oldest of mine.
Not only could I not get down there to see her in the hospital because of the snow, but I have a court date next Friday (where a trial date is to be set for some time in the two weeks following). And, to top it all off, my girlfriend's daughter's 8th birthday is today - so I have to be all fake cheery so as not to ruin her first birthday with me. Oh, and mom has told me that I'm not allowed to tell any of my family about what's happening with me (re: wife and criminal charges). That'll be fun - seeing my whole family for the first time in about 15 years while trying to keep that from being a topic of conversation.
Hey, somebody tell me how I can get this dark cloud out from over me?
