Oh, Grandma,

I knew we were old, but I didn't know we were so old.
The teens graduated and turned into young adults. Kevin started romancing one of his old class mates. (Her name is Adrianne.)



It isn't like there was room in the house for another person, or so we thought. However, we were taken by surprise. While painting on the back patio, Rafael and Keilani were visited by the Grim Reaper. Rafael was the first to go.



We were all upset of course. It made us realize just how soon we too might leave this world. So, Keilani and Keiana started doing portraits of the twins. Keilani didn't get to finish hers. She was taken just hours after Rafael.



They both lived very rewarding lives. I just wish they could have stayed longer. We added their portraits and plaques to the others on the back wall.



Then I put some of Keilani's paintings that we had saved on the front wall.



The paintings filled the wall. I had to decide which ones to keep and which ones to sell. It's like an art gallery now.



Keiana got to finish her portrait of Kyle before she went the very next day. (I love that painting. I wish she could have made portraits for all the kids before she passed on.)



She was working on a portrait of Adrianne when her life was interrupted. It makes an interesting unfinished painting. Maybe, we'll hang it in the newlywed's room until we have a better one.



Keiana might have had a grumpy trait, but she was generally only upset by going outside on her way to and from work since she hated the outdoors. She was a workaholic though, so she loved her time at work. Since she only had a part-time job at the spa, she sure mastered a lot of skills.



Her paintings are truly masterpieces. I put the best ones on the back of the front wall for now. I grouped all the medium paintings together, followed by the large ones. Here's a picture of the smaller ones:



As morbid as it seems, I have already prepared my plot. I have maxed nine skills and accumulated over 300,000 lifetime happiness points. So, it's been a very good life thus far. I do want to max my charisma skills before I go though. Too bad I didn't start working on that trait a long time ago.



I do know that death on one level isn't an absence of being. I see you and Grandpa talking about wireless internet connections out back.



Even Keiana, who always hated the outdoors, is using the GPS on her cell to navigate now.



Dad, as a mad scientist, seems to have better skills at roaming around freely though.



He was always interested in learning more while he was alive. It seems that his quest for knowledge hasn't abated. He can be found reading the new books in our library at night.



Well, until my time comes, I'll continue to live life to the fullest. (By the way, that's Kyle painting. He achieved his lifetime want to be a chess grand master while still a teen. He is now following in his father's footsteps in the medical profession.)
