Grandma Coates died today. OK so she wasn't actually my grandma. But for ages, that's how I knew her, because that was what my friends whose grandma she was called her. In fact, she lived in Melbourne and I only ever met her a handful of times, although I did stay with her when I went down to Melbourne for Hao's wedding, drove her car around town while I was there, fixed her computer, and she called me kazza which I thought was very cute. So it was strange that I was so upset by it all. Especially since she'd been very sick for months, and we know she's going to heaven so will see her later anyway.
She was such a lovely lady, and her rather large family and everyone else that knew her will miss her terribly.
