This photo of my Grandma Doris was taken the day she died. Although I miss her and obviously I felt very sad at her passing it just didn't feel 'wrong'. In fact I believe that she almost chose her moment to go. She lived in an annexe of my parents house and so saw my mum, her eldest daughter, a lot. This photo was taken at her other daughter's house where you can tell she had just enjoyed a lovely lunch and spent time with the family, and then her 3rd child, her son, was driving her home when she just slipped away. A little while before this happened I had been with her at a family get-together and I'd asked her if she was enjoying herself and her reply was "Yes dear, but I'd rather be with Grandad." My grandfather had died 2 years before. I'm as certain as it's possible to be that she was simply tired of living without him. She'd had the satisfaction of seeing several great-grandchildren come into the world, she had spent time with all her close family and I feel she was ready to leave. Sleep tight Grandma. I have journaled these details on the back of the tag. This was for a private challenge.
