I would have spent this time updating you on a weekend chopped full of events with the kids and family BUT one phone call early this morning changed that....
After many years of waiting and wondering how a body could hang on while the mind was leaving, my grandma was given the peace she so greatly deserved! She is now in heaven with all her other family members and friends. For the past four years she has been in and out of hospice as we waited for this day. I may sound emotionless but it really has been that many years of grieving which brings me to the final stage of relief that the strong, bossy woman I knew my whole life is able to be that beautiful person again. She has been trapped in a body for so many years that did not work. She has been wheel chair bound for almost 20 years after her first major stroke. She has lived in her nursing home for over 10 years. I will and am missing her so much!! She was the grandma that sewed all my doll clothes for me and she was the grandma that took care of me when I was horribly sick with the chicken pox at one years old. I love this lady so much and will miss her forever!! I am so blessed to have had her in my life for this long and I am even more blessed to have had her in my children's lives!!!
