Grandma Gladys flew away to heaven two nights ago. She has been huge part of my life for almost 35 years. One of the first dates my Beloved and I had was to visit Grandma and her family. She has been a delightful part of my life ever since. Grandma's hands have been busy in our lives...and what a blessing she has been.
She was my mentor. She taught me how to play like a child, how to be a good Mom--her creativity was always an inspiration. I loved her stories and we often laughed together.
How grateful I am for the time I recently spent with her while her daughter was away. We ate at McDonalds (her favorite place), giggled together and I tended to her, throughout the day, and as she slept in her big easy chair.
She is in a better place now--out of pain, able to see and jump and walk--I can't even begin to imagine the freedom and joy she has now. She is with her Beloved Vic and is seeing the face of Jesus.
I know she's having a ball telling my Beloved husband all about what's been going on down here whilst he's been gone there.
Have a lovely day, dear Friends--and take time to cherish the ones you love. Life is fragile and every day is a gift.
