Long life and vegetables

[butterfly]

Got a scare today. My mom called me around four to let me know that my grandma had been admitted to the hospital for a nose bleed and that, given traveling time, I'd probably be one to pick her up.

My grandma is eighty-nine. She's probably the toughest person that I've ever met. She can be frustrating and infuriating and I love her so much.

She's had such a very full life and she still lives every day, independent and capable.

So, she called me around five and I went to the hospital to pick her up (incidentally, this was actually the same hospital that I was born in). She was a little shaky and definitely scared, but she's so strong. She gave me many vegetables to take home -- lemon cucumbers and such.

I got her home and told her that I'd visit her next week. I never get to see her and I'd like to change that.

I'm definitely going to try. I don't want to have regrets for something that I can control.
