Laura Lee:: I am vegan. I am tattooed. I love the earth. I believe in love regardless of gender or race. I will spend my life fighting oppression and spreading compassion. Sometimes my dogs are my favorite people in the world. My family has a second home on the big island of Hawaii, and that is where my heart is. I wish I could fly away...

music: Televisionmood: Strange
Well, my grandmother passed away last week. It all happened so fast. It's still really hard to believe. At first, I don't think I really absorbed it. I was almost relieved that she no longer had to remain in a comatose state that she had been in for the entire week before her death.
I miss so many things about her. Just the little things, like the way she used to make "finger sandwiches" for me at the beach. I still don't believe it's really happened. I know it's just a part of life, these things happen, but that doesn't take the sadness away. It does, however, make me think about death a lot and the fact that one day it will happen to me.
Life in Norfolk otherwise is pretty good. I haven't really gotten to spend any time with Josh, even though we are in the same house, because of the chaos. My new job is hectic but it's really interesting and I'm working on a lot of exciting things. Powder and Bear are doing well together, although Bear is having trouble eating as much as he would normally. We have to feed him many times each day to make sure he gets enough food, because he gets tired of eating after just a few bites.
