Context: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Thats sad. Have you been to Scotand since?
Speaker 1: Only for funerals, unfortunately. Both my parents have since died. Unpleasant fact of life, I'm afraid.
Speaker 2: Im sorry to hear that. Were you born there?
Speaker 1: Yes I was. I didn't come to the US until I was in my 30s. Didn't expect my Grandma to pass the minute I got here, but she was 96, so it shouldn't have been such a surprise!
Speaker 2: 96! Wow. Thats a full life!
Speaker 1: She was as fit as a flea too. She tripped and broke her hip and got a bad infection in the hospital. That's what she died of!
Speaker 2: Wow. She probably couldve kept going for years if it wasnt for that.
