Sadness 
Greetings, peoples. Sunday evening we learned that our Russian grandma had passed away late in the night. Her battle with cancer had been a long and painful one, but she suffers no more. Irina Georgievna was an awesome woman; she was full of humour and remained sharp even in old age. I remember her propensity for telling stories, she’d always begin a particular tale but would somehow get sidetracked into a thousand others. Her monologues would often stretch well into the night. Irina loved her garden; she’d be out there morning till dusk tending to the roses. Neighbours came sniffing around and begging for cuttings. She wasn’t stingy - there was always a flower to share and give away. We spent many hours chattering on the phone about the greens, I feel her passion for plants had rubbed off on me somewhat. A few of the cuttings she’d sent me have taken root and will grow in my room all the while reminding me of her. Most of all, I remember her laughter. She had a tremendous sense of humour which tended to infect those around her. This one time… she was sitting in the toilet – private time, you understand. Suddenly, we heard muted giggling behind the door. Giggling and farting. When she’d come out she said that she’d farted and thought that we’d heard (being in the next room) and that made her laugh even harder. She liked to keep fashionable; even when illness had taken hold she’d always take the time to dress well, put on a little make up and arrange her hair. Even in the summer house, after a long day of weeding, an hour or two each month would be spent on colouring it. It would always come out a reddish-warm orange, she’d plat it in a very long braid and then roll it up into a neat bun. She had a big heart full of love and emotion. She will be missed. Sleep well, babusya. <3Peace,
~Yel.
As you described her here she seems like a wonderful person *hugs*
My sympathies go out to you and your family. I've recently lost a very close member of my own family so I know how you must feel. But, yes, there is a relief in her passing in that she no longer has to suffer the pain of this world. Knowing that helped me with my own loss and it's a comforting thought to attach to.
Be well, Yelena.
Thank you for reading.
Aye, I've read that.. sorry for your loss. This year has been quite rubbish in that respect. :/
Thank you, cheesy! <3
Pasmaidiiju ar mazu asarinju.
Pietruuks vinjas. :/
That just made me cry...
And that incident with the toilet, I remember that quite vividly! Also our farting matches in the garden were something to be proud of!
I can't quite believe she is gone yet.. maybe I'll never let myself realise it. I just can't let go...
Sometimes I catch myself thinking about calling her and telling her about something. :C
It's... hard sometimes, it just grabs you, ya know? ;_;
And.. the cleavage! O'boy. ^_^
We do have nice memories of her.. she taught both of us a lot of good things. <3
Your Grandma sounded like a real character!
They're always with us, even in the funniest of moments they would have appreciated!

She was fantastic, many good things to keep and remember.
Thanks, Si.
