history: I was so upset when I heard my Grandma had passed. I was overseas and didn't know about it as nobody could contact me. I was over here in the US when my Grandma passed in Scotland. I was so upset - nobody could get hold of me to tell me and her funeral was over before I knew about it.
current: Thats sad. Have you been to Scotand since?
next: Only for funerals, unfortunately. Both my parents have since died. Unpleasant fact of life, I'm afraid.
