Sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. So much has happened since January. I've been putting this off for quite some time. It still seems so strange that the world can keep spinning and the sun can keep shining without Grandmother's being here. Those of you who knew her understand that statement. For those of you who didn't know her, I will explain... Dorothy Owen was the type of person who could walk into a room full of dull and boring and make it come to life. She had this aura that expanded and spread to everyone else in the room. You couldn't be in a bad mood around her. She always made things seem better. She looked and acted 20 years younger than she really was. She had such a presence. To me, it seemed that her presence was the very force that was making the world go round. We all miss her so much. It's painful to be typing all of this. I guess that's why I've put it off for so long. Everyone has to go, or so we're all told, but I wish she could still be here so Chloe could know, first hand, how much Grandmother loved her. Even though she is not physically here I take comfort in knowing that she is watching out for us every day. Her daughter knows this better than anyone else. Chloe has all the same wonderful qualities as her great-grandmother who, at 77 years old, danced in the hospital's maternity waiting room from excitement over Chloe's impending birth. So, when we miss our mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt we can look at Chloe because Dot lives on through her.
