Life....

It's been a busy and challenging week.

Monday was a snow day, which was unexpected and fun. I spent most of the day working on the insurance claim that we had to submit as a result of the stuff that was stolen in Aruba. We finally got that done, and all I can say is I am happy to have it over with. Never lose important stuff, or let it get stolen. Insurance claims are a pain in the neck! :P

Tuesday was soooooo busy catching up on all I'd missed, however I was able to relax in the evening and hang out with my friend Helen. It was fun. Then I got home and Tim told me I had to call my mom right away - my gramma was in the hospital.

I spent most of Wednesday with grams in the hospital, she'd had a heart attack and since my parents were driving from far away, and i was the closest to her, I went. I have to say it was a surreal experience sitting in that hospital, looking at my gramma in a hospital bed. It's the first time I've really realised my own mortality - someday my grams will die :( and someday so will everyone else I love. I don't mean to sound morbid, I guess I'd never really thought of life that way. Eventually we all die. And I know that there are greater and more beautiful things to come beyond death, but it's still something hard to comprehend.....no longer existing in this world, as imperfect as it is, it's all I know.

God has created such wonders in this world - white beaches and turquoise waters, the majestic greys and browns tipped with white of the mountains, a simple, perfect red rose. All of it so beautiful, so full of life. So reflective of God's life I suppose. And a little bit of his personality. Didn't he create such a wonderful world?

My grams is still in hospital, she finally has a room to sleep in. We can only really take a wait and see approach right now. So I guess we'll see.
