Memories

This week has been very hard.
Unexpectadly my Grandmother passed.  My heart..... hurts.

She was strong willed. Someone at her service described her as the "unsinkable Molly Brown"- and that was so true.
She loved her family, her husband, had many MANY hobbies, many friends, believed in natural remedies, was a list maker, loved chocolate, Wheel of Fortune, and had the best. laugh. ever.

I am grateful our boys met her, and she my boys.  I am grateful she passed peacefully, surrounded by her children, and that she is now with my Granddad.

.

I am in shock that i no longer have grandparents on that side of my family.  I can't grasp that I won't see them again, talk with them again....but, I am grateful for the time we spent with her last summer, and the memories I have of her and my grandfather.
It has been a huge reminder to me to Live in THE moment. Be thankful for today, and savor it for what it is.
I am thankful our boys have 4 grandparents who love them, 2 aunts, 3 uncles, 4 cousins, and many extended family who all love them, fill them with love, support, happy memories..
