Drake's grandmother passes



Drake's Thanksgiving was indeed a sad one.  The emotional rapper lost his grandmother, Evelyn Sher, who he often speaks on being very close to.  Details inside on what Drake had to say about her passing...

The "No Lie" rapper took to Twitter recently to tell his fans some sad news in his life.  His maternal grandmother, Evelyn, passed away on Thanksgiving Day.  He revealed:

“Rest in peace to my grandmother Evelyn Sher. What a day to go...thankful to have had the times we did.”

He mentioned her plenty of times in his songs.  And once even turned over the mic to her as she was recorded giving him a message, which was used on his "Look What You've Done" track off his latest Take Care album:

All I can say Aubrey is, I remember the good times we had together and the times I used to look after you and I still have wonderful feelings about that.  So God bless you, and I hope I’ll see you.”

And it seems like Drizzy may harbor a little guilt over not tending as much to Ms. Evelyn these last few years.  He rapped on his "The Resistance" track back in 2010 (Thank Me Later):

“I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home/ And I be actin’ like I don’t know how to work a phone.”

I had to put my dad down over the summer. It was hard, after having him with us for 13 or so years, but he was suffering. I think he knew when we brought him the vet. He just sat with me while I held him. The little guy stayed in my bed and pet me after my grandmother died. Tough times.

I'm glad our pets aren't suffering anymore. I'm sorry about your other dog, however.

Omg, that's up there with, "her mum was dad, her dad was dad, what else was she going to do?"
But in all seriousness, my heart goes out to anyone who lost a pet. It's not

Ugh, now who's the idiot? Me and my fat and stupid phone, that's who.

What I meant to say was it's not the same as loving a beloved human, but it shatters your heart all the same.

Not gonna lie, I laughed a little at the typo. She had progressively been getting worse and when we took her in Wednesday we basically knew what the outcome was going to be. It's a little more upsetting since she never got to come back home but she was taken care of and got the treatment that she needed to keep her comfortable until today. My mom and I got to love on her and talk to her for a good amount of time before and during the process until she was gone. She's at peace now and that makes it easier to cope with.

I think our other pup is more concerned with the fact that my mom has been so upset the past few days because he won't leave her side but he definitely knows somethings not right and that his friend is gone.

Im sorry to hear about your kitty, too.
