How terribly, terribly sad. Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, just died.
It's just beyond words, isn't it, that she couldn't hold out another 36 hours or so. But maybe she was satisfied that she knew it was going to turn out all right. I don't believe in many spiritual things, but I do believe that people in that situation fight and fight and then, when it feels right to them, stop fighting. But God is this sad.
