Yesterday morning at 10:30 my Gueli finally passed. After years of suffering she is finally at peace. It will be a long time before I can say the same. I am so sad that I could not have been with her for the final years of her life after being so close in the past. She finally moves closer to us all in California and I move away. Oh the injustice! The smartest, bravest, most beautiful woman I have ever known. I was so lucky to have her as my grandmother. She alone was the reason I fell in love with History and The Arts. I can remember countless trips to museums, art galleries, theatre and the ballet when I would visit her in New York. 90 years is a long time, but not nearly long enough. I only hope that I can grow up to have her courage and strength.
