Right now, I believe the only thing that is important is family

Right now, I believe the only thing that is important is family. I went to my great grandmother's funeral today. Her visitation was yesterday, and I didn't feel sad for her--I was sad for my own grandmother because she was watching her mother die, watched her pass, and then watched her to be taken underground for burial. I was not sad for great grandma. I was sad for my grandma--that I held through the visitation and the funeral. I will probably hold her many more times because she is crying out of that sorrow. I was crying for my grandma that deeply felt the loss of her mother. It made me feel what could be the loss of my own mother. How could you live nearly 70 years knowing your mother, and let her go? How deeply does that pain go? In the future I will endure that feeling...who knows when...
