Today was a very bittersweet day. This morning my son, C'Jay came and picked me up so that we could go and visit grandma again. As we arrived Grandma was mumbling words but was unable to open her eyes. We could not understand what she was trying to say but when I hugged her and told her I loved her, she whispered and said "I love you too." My son and my Dad gave her a blessing of comfort. The blessing told us that she would be able to pass quietly and and with no pain.
She has been sick and in and out of hosptials for the past 10 weeks. We were so grateful to get her into a care center where she could be at peace. She has been kept comfortable for the past two days.
We were told that she might suffer for 1-2 weeks, we were distraught at the thought of her having to suffer for that long. We know are prayers were answered when she passed away within a few short hours after that beautiful blessing given my my father and my son.
She passed away in peace having no pain and slipped quietly away. I know she is having the best reunion with her sweetheart who has been gone for 6 years. The were such lovebirds and I know this separation has been very difficult for them both. She also had her parents, brothers and sisters, her son and her grandson, my brother, Kevin, who I know she enjoyed a wonderful reunion with all of them as well!
I am so thankful for families and the opportunity we have to be together forever! My Grandma taught me so much! I love to bake, sew, and crochet thanks to her. My love for pictures and home movies is because of her. Her family meant everything to her and I have gained that love from her!
I will love you and cherish the memories we had together forever!
I know she hung on for the past 10 weeks because she wanted to see her first great, great, grandchild be born. She got her wish and we were able to take a beautiful 5 generation picture that will be a treasure always and forever!
I love and miss you Grandma! Give Grandpa a kiss for me!
