My american grandmother

Post by thor »

Listen up fellow squad mates.

I'm not going to tell you all the details - my english is to bad - but my grandma just died. She passed away this afternoon.

She lived in Hibbing Minnesota so I'm not able to go to her funeral, but we had a very nice memorial after we got the phone call.

As you all understand the distans from norway to US is great - and makes it hard to keep in contact, but I always had the best possible contact with her. She was old and she had altzheimer so her death was no suprise and we are glad she got to go without to much suffering.

It's hard to explain my fellings - but out of respect for her and my family - and because I want to have a quiet evening and night - I'm not going to be able to log in and be apart of this exiting time in game . We got Koln and are winning this map w000t. It really is great to be in this squad. Thank you all.

I'm sorry Kiz, I can't help the allied to night. We are all grown up (exept snippy, maybe) and understand what RL is all about - and that RL is more important. But when we make RL friends in a virtual world thinks changes and the border beetwin(?) real life and virtual life gets confusing (not much, but still). I wanted to tell you all about my loss, and I want you all to know that in this "viritual real life" called wwIIonline and the dambusters - I consider you to be trusted friends.

My Grandma had altzheimer too... It it easy on the person they don't know what is really going on, almost like time stops for them and will eventualy start reversing. Altzheimer is very very hard on everyone else in the family, I know your pain.

We are here when you get back bro.

Thank you to everyone.

We kind of lost here a long time ago, and what finally got here was the fact that she forgot how to swallow here food.

If you belive in God or not it dosen't mater, but here death couldn't come at a better time. She was a strong beliver and the easter time seems like a good time to leave for her. On satuarday the family (us in Norway) was together for a "memorial" dinner and talks. We knew she only had a short time left. We talkt about grandma and grandpa and what she had ment to us. When the phone rang in the middle of our memorial, we all knew what it was - she had died.

Every tuesday there is a evening meditaion and prayer service in our local church. Because of the difference in timezones we could sit in our church almost on the exact same time as the sermonie tok place in Hibbing.

Kind of weird that all this came togheter and it gave us the felling of beeing in Hibbing - right beside her and the rest of the family.


Thank you again.
