Life and Death

My grandfathers girlfriend died this morning.

My grandmother has been gone over twenty years now, and my Opa was, apparently, a fast mover, because he was with Joanne for just about twenty years.

She hadn't been doing too well. She lost both of her sons within the past year, and cancer decided it was her turn. I got the call this morning, and it changed my plans. My brother and I headed over and helped him take care of things. The house was a revolving door of near family that made no small motions to get things taken care of.

Calling hours, funeral, and the endless paperwork. Some say we live in a democracy, I know we live in a bureaucracy.
