RIP Leebie Forbes 1921 – 2014 *EDIT* in OD

My mum just phoned. My gran dies at 4am this morning. She was 93.

It’s not much of a surprise. She’d been in hospital since before Christmas and had been on a do not treat list since before New Year.

Still upsetting though.

My gran was awesome. Whether it was the broth that was so thick you didn’t dunk bread into it as much as force it in (still my all time favourite soup), disappearing after my sisters graduation t go play bingo late into the night or 1001 other stories.

And now she’s gone. Just hope I can make it up for the funeral with all the nonsense at work.

Here she is on her 90th birthday surrounded by three generations of her family:

Requiescat in Pace

Will

And I won’t make the funeral. Because of the redundancy the only way I could take the time off is to take unpaid leave. And, because of the redundancy, I can’t afford it.
