11/09/2023. My grandma passed away today. On Sunday, she wasn't able to communicate with us because she was in so much pain. The people who take care of her at the nursing home helped put her into her bed. I reached out and held her hand. She squeezed my hand one last time. I like to believe she knew it was me.
