Day 51 - Sadness :(

Was doing my workout on Saturday and heard my phone go. I decided not to answer it as wanted to finish my workout, but listened to the message and it was my dad. My dad doesn't often call, so immediately I knew something was up. My Nana has been sick for quite some time so I figured that was it. I decided to finish my workout anyway as I knew once I spoke to him there would be no way I would go back to it. Did my last exercises with my Nana very much in my mind. After my workout I called my dad back, and yes, my Nana had passed away over night. She died peacefully in her sleep in her bed at home. I'm incredibly sad, but at the same time I am pleased she didn't have to move into a nursing home, and she and grandpa got to live out her last days together in their house. She was quite uncomfortable I think, and ready to go.

I've been ok over the last couple days. Went for my run yesterday morning thinking of my Nana and there were a few tears - it's hard to run when you are crying! Been eating ok too, and did my shockwave class this morning. We're going to NZ tomorrow for the funeral. Going to be very sad, but also so nice to be with my family.

Also managed to fit in two games of golf over the weekend - Cammeray on Saturday and Moore Park on Sunday, and a driving range session on both Sunday and Monday! It is such a frustrating game, but I'm getting better! I wish I had rung my Nana and told her I was learning to play.

So, very much up and down. Feeling good about myself at the moment, but also so much sadness. Just need to ensure I keep my exercise and eating up, and keep on top of things. Also gutted I am going to miss the basketball grand finals! Just realised I hadn't actually written about this! We won our finals game so now in the grand finals! And we weren't even supposed to make the playoffs. Our team is amazing!
