I'm beginning to think that me going to college is some kind of a curse on them.

I've noted that many college students lose grandparents during those four years. The coincidence really is more of the way generations move on. That doesn't make it easier, but it shouldn't make things harder either. People pass on when they pass on, no curses or blessings will prevent that.

If you need anything let me know. Sometime I'd like to hear more stories about her. From what you've said, it sounds like she was an amazing woman.
