It has been over 10 months since my beloved grandma's death. I never imagined that I would hurt so much. For various reasons, she was the only grandprent's funeral I was able to attend, maybe that is why it's been harder. She was also the last grandparent I had. She lived in Ohio, almost 800 miles from where I live so I can't just go visit her whenever I wish.

She passed away one week after my birthday and that was the last time I talked to her. She always called me on my birthday. I'm really going to miss that this year.
