My Grandmother passed away last week.
It wasn’t unexpected, she had been unwell for a long time and had deteriorated rapidly over the last month. But it is still very hard. She was a lovely, gentle but very hard working woman who endured a lot.
We flew to the South Island for her funeral last weekend. Although it was very sad it was nice to catch up with family, some of whom I hadn’t seen for over 10 years. There was lots of catching up, reminising, and eating! Maya was often the centre of attention and helped bring smiles to many faces. Life goes on.
We are now back living in Palmerston North and I have already officially started my PhD. Monday is however the big day, when we will all be properly “at school” as Luis starts his studies again, and Maya will be having her first day in childcare. I’ll let you know how it goes!
