Everything comes to an end.

I'd planned my next blog post to be a collage with autumn photos which I've snapped lately. However, things doesn't always work out as they are planned. It was 2.33 PM yesterday I received a phone call from my mother. I must say, she was excellent in the way she delivered the announcement. A short greeting. Then, without further notice, "Your grandmother passed away at almost exactly 1.10 PM". About one hour and twenty minutes ago, in other words. This was it. I can not say I haven't seen it coming. I've been preparing myself for this day for a long time. The last year has been very rough on her, to say the least. The COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) that she has suffered from has de facto only one possible exit road. My grandmother reached the honorable age of 92. May she rest in peace, as she will always be remembered with grace.
