My paternal grandmother left us on wednesday morning.


I grieve at the lost...


The biggest regrets were that we did not maintain a close relationship as we grew older.


The visits whittled down to the yearly CNY gathering.


Just 3 weeks ago during the CNY she was still spry and healthy looking.


How suddenly one can be taken away.


In the hospital for slightly more then a week, she was finally alleviated of her pain.



I should have brought my baby with me to see her on CNY.


I should have taken her out for the treat I promised to.


I thought she still had alot of time with us.



But now, she is in a better place.


Hurricanes are named after me.
I am strong. I am tempestuous.
I am the calm of Audrey Hepburn.
Before the storm of Charlie's Angel.
I may not be able to read maps sometimes.
But at least I can ask for directions.
I love shoes, one pair is never enough.
I can do everthing Fred Astaire did.
Backwards and in high heels.

I am a woman, hear me roar.
