I am waiting for my parents to come pick up me and The Boyfriend to attend my mother's mother, Grandma Evelyn's funeral. Evelyn was 101 when she died yesterday morning in her home in the Bronx, in the same house where my mother grew up. Evelyn was a teacher, received her Master's degree from Columbia University, and was an extremely intelligent and warm lady. She was able to meet her grandchildren and four great grandsons and this past April, we all celebrated her 101st birthday together at her home. It's funny - it's not that we didn't know she couldn't live forever, but now that she's gone, it still seems too short. In 32 years, she has always been at every major event in my life, and now there will always be something missing at future events. That said, she had a very good run. We love and miss you, Grandma Evelyn.
