Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.

I sadly lost my nan, unexpectedly a while back. It's a significant comfort to know some of the last words I spoke to her were "I love you both".

So sorry for your loss, i've had terrible luck with last interactions with my grandparents before their deaths.

It's one of those things. I've managed to purge the negative feelings now.

Ironically, I don't really remember our last interaction, in person. It was pleasant and enjoyable, but so normal as to just blur with other visits. That amuses me quite a bit (so many nice visits I can no longer pick 1 out). My habit of saying "I love you" at the end of every visit helps a lot.
