RIP to my Gran, whose body passed away not long ago, dementia means her brain was gone years before. It feels wrong to say it, but while any death is sad, it’s also tinged with a sense of relief, like we can all move on and properly mourn now.
I’ll always remember her as she was though, a wonderful woman who passed her endless curiosity on to me via tales of growing up through the blitz, and random educational magazines about anything and everything.
