Morrak Is An Occasional Stringer For The Academy And Absolutely Worth A Follow - Tumblr Posts

My grandmother died last year. Last week, I mentioned her in passing and an acquaintance said they were sorry. That seemed odd to me. I don’t know how to respond to a thing like that. Eventually I said what my dad learned to say — ‘it was sudden, but not unexpected.’ She was sick for years. Some of those years were alright, even, and I don’t think there’s a better way for a thing to happen than that. Sudden and unexpected is bad; slow and unexpected is worse. Slow and expected isn’t worth talking about. Fast and foreseen is called graceful. I wish everything went down like that.
