Missing grandma

My grandmother passed away a year and a half ago, but she has been on my mind alot lately. I've had several days lately when I felt like a cup of coffee, an apricot cookie and a visit with Grandma would be perfect therapy. Those visits seemed to make time stand still. Other things could wait.
While driving home from a day in CU, I looked up to see the sun "drawing water" and it made me think of Grandma again. I will need to teach my kids all of these signs of nature in the years to come.
And a trip to the library where I interacted with a young man with Down's syndrome seemed to be yet another signal this week that I was getting a message from Grandma.

With the numerous other major events of the past year, I know I didn't grieve properly for my grandmother. I know I am still getting through that process. However, I don't know that I can ever truly put closure on her life. I want to continue to remember her and use her passing as a reminder to spend time having that cup of coffee or taking in other special moments before there comes a day when we can't.
