It won't really hit you till the funeral. Then the waterworks usually begin.

When my Grandfather passed not too long ago it pretty much hit me right away...I mean not RIGHT away because I was asleep in my dorm room when I got the call early that day. So I sat up and sat there for a while thinking about it and then before I knew it the tears just started comin down...then we went to the hospital and I saw him...it was horrible..I wasn't ready for that. Not at all. Of course I was actually in town then so that mighta had something to do with it. I also talked to my Grandfather because he spoke english. He'd usually just bounce me on his knee and tell me to be a good boy. It really was her time though. She had Alzheimer's, she was a little senile, she didn't eat she got fed food through IV's, she had to wear diapers, and she slept a lot. That on top of having to be alone after my Grandfather went so it was really more of a blessing. We head out home (I call it home) tommorow. I have to be a pall bearer (sp?) again. I was for my Grandfather as well.
Asta!!
