Somewhere Out There.

As some of you may know, for awhile, my great grandma Gigi has been pretty touch and go. She's been in the hospital for quite awhile. Well, tonight, around 9:45 or so, she passed. She's a Christian, so thankfully, she's going to be with her savior. It's so rough though... She was 86 I think? So she lived a great life. She was such a beautiful person. It's hard to think she won't be there anymore... I don't even remember the last time that I saw her. I got to talk to her on the phone a few days before though. Which was good. We prayed over her. She's almost completely deaf, but she seemed to understand...

What do you do when someone in your life dies? It's hard to go on exactly the same; but then you do. I don't know. I feel like crying should be a big part; but I'm bad at crying. I can hardly ever, which then just makes me feel worse. I think music takes the place of crying for me. It also helps me put to words some of my feelings. I've been listening to a lot of songs tonight, and while I'm not going to list them all, they've been so much help.
Somewhere Out There by Our Lady Peace
Light On by David Cook
Augustine by Nevertheless
Just to name a few. They're all pretty excellent. And they all fit in in a way.

I know that Gigi is somewhere out there. Specifically, I know she is out there in Heaven. But she's out of reach now. But thankfully, she's with her creator, in endless happiness. She can hear, she can walk; she can enjoy everything now!
I think she's left a light on from her life. She may be gone, but the light of Christ still shines through her life.
Love is an ocean. She was obviously drowned, so to speak, in love by all her family and friends, and of course, by her creator. Not literally drowned of course. But, continuing the metaphor. And that makes me happy. And she left behind an ocean of her own to drown us.


Anyway. That's all I've got. Just a quick update, no philosophical/deep/witty post ;)
