My last living grandparent passed away on June 1, 2008. I am so grateful to have been able to say goodbye one last time in this lifetime. The funeral was very lovely. Who would have thought that my dad would conduct his mom's funeral last year and his mom-in-law's this year? The day was very cold-hence the blanket and freezing little kids. I am grateful to have watched my mom lovingly care for her mom over the last decade or so and the tender bond that I saw between them is something I hope I have with my mom and espeically as she gets older. Life is a time to learn, love and grow and watching my mom over the last couple of weeks before grandam died. It was sad to watch but at the same time, we were grateful that grandma was released from her earthly trials of Alzeheimers.
Thanks Lisa, I stole the pictures from your blog!
I also found out that a dear friend's mom passed away a few days ago. my heart just goes out to her and aches for her because moms are incredibly special people and the superheros of a child's life. I know she and her mom shared an unbelievable bond that I was able to witness on many occassions. Mom-just want to let you know that I love you and can never express that enough to you and all that you do.
