Life changes

Last night I called my grandmother to say  hi and see how my brother was doing. What I heard was, "The number you have reached has been disconnected and is no longer in service." My grandmother has moved out of my childhood home and is no living with my Uncle. I have not had the chance to say goodbye to that old house. The "blue room" where I lived for several years. The breakfast room where my grandmother and I would have tea. The basement where I held my first teen party. All gone and in the hands of the church...(my grandmother deeded the house to the parish). My parents are getting older, I am getting older. Change is horrible when it side swipes you. It takes the breath out of the body and breaks the heart. Time to deal with life.
