4th of July, A Sad and Happy Day for me
I had a wonderful day yesterday with my friends, my hubby, and my daughter at a park in the evening. We were home during the day watching the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island, NY. I was just waiting to see anyone have a heart attack eating 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. But I allowed myself one cheeseburger at dinner since Shelleys was having ribs on her 4th of July. 
The cheeseburger was soo good and I'm glad to have one. I haven't had one in months. I shared a small ice cream with my daughter. Overall, it was a great evening.
On my way home last night, I got a text message from my brother that my grandmother went in cardiac arrest. 30 minutes after that, she passed away. I've been up late at night talking to my mom on the phone and making arrangement to go north for the funeral this weekend. It's strange because last week, I told my husband that I hope grandma doesn't pass away on the 4th of July. I just had a gut feeling that it was going to happen that day. I knew because my mom said that my grandmother refuses to eat anything at the hospital and she would just sleep all day. That tells me that she has given up on herself. But I've known that she has given up on herself for a long time since my grandfather passed away when I was 11 years old. My grandmother had a hard time being without him and she was really lonely, even though she had 10 children, 14 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild around her all the time. I guess it's true how your husband or wife is like another half of yourself. I'm worried about my mom right now since I know she had a really bad month with moving out of her house plus grandma at the hospital at the same time. So I'll be away for a few days and be back next week.
Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July yesterday.
