Bye, Mom-Mom at 8:19 PM

I got word this morning that my grandmother died. She's not been well for a while, so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but it's always sad to lose a grandparent. And Mom-Mom was great. I won't take too much space to eulogize here, but she was always very kind to me and to everyone else, though I don't know that you'd want to cross her too often. That was part of what made her fun, was that she never seemed behind the times to me. She never seemed old outside of, you know, having a high number for an age. Mom-Mom had an email address, and used it more often than my dad does. She watched every Phillies game every season (though she only ever saw one game in person - last year.) She always had something nice to say if she wanted to, and she had a quick wit to go with that. I'm glad for her that she'll be with Pop-Pop now, who died a few years back, because I know she missed him terribly. As a side note, those of you who aren't from the East may wonder at the Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop names, so just trust me when I tell you it's an East Coast thing. Heck, it's my parents' names now too. How weird is that?
