few word friday...

Today my molasses cookie baking, coffee drinking, garden loving, book reading, boiled dinner making, 78 year old grandma decided it would be her last day with us. I thought in my head it would be easier than this. That since she had been going in this direction for some time now I should have been better prepared for this day. I was not prepared. I am so sad. So sad E (who was named after grandma) won't be able to grow up and get to know her as I did. So sad she won't get to know my other children. So sad for my grandpa who is now alone. So sad for my mom who now does not have a mom. This part of life really SUCKS.

This is my grandma and grandpa at grandma's birthday party this past October.

Hope you are feeling better now gram. Love you lots,

Nellie (what she used to call me, yes after the one on Litt.le Ho.us.e on the Pr.air.ie)

Grandma was loved by all that met her. I loved her too.

I am hoping to write a tribute post at a later date. I will miss your Grandma. I have some fantastic stories to share about her.

I had to tell Em about this today and it wasn't easy. I've been talking to her today to make sure we keep as many memories as we can. The sad part is Ash only knows her from the time in the nursing home.

We will be seeing you soon.

Oh, I am soooooo sorry! I can't even imagine what that feels like. I hope your family takes the time you need to come to terms with the loss. I'll definitely say a prayer for you guys.
