Grandma Dobyns / Marian

We lost my Grandma Dobyns this week. It wasn't unexpected and I think a lot of us had been grieving for a long time, but it's still a gut punch. 

After a while, you sort of get used to the "new normal." So even though I knew dementia would ultimately take her, it sort of felt like the new normal was that we just had the same conversation over and over again. 

She was happy and active still. The pets still flocked to her. 

So this is just what normal was now and we were happy to have the time.
