zandertoyIt has been a long time since my last post. Alot has been going on with the family. My grandma passed away today and it has been the first death in my immediate family that I have had to deal with.
Grandma has been struggling holding on to her last thread of life for years now and finally she has let go peacefully. As sad as it is this has been the biggest relief for my family to finally get to move on and deal with her leaving us.
A few days ago I took the day off and spent the day with grandma. All of us were there spending time with her. We all said our goodbyes and played videos and just spent time with her as a family.
Now that she has left us we can look back on who she was as a healthy wife, mother and grandmother.
We looked back at all of the things she used to do for us that made her Grandma.
I have to begin working on a small speech that I am going to present at the funeral/wake. I think the one thing that I am going to talk about is how strong of a woman grandma was. Through her arthritis in her legs and her hard work making dollars a day working in the sweatshop in factories she was always working hard and I have always admired her for that.
I feel completely horrible for my grandpa. He was finally able to say goodbye to his lifelong partner. Over 60+ years of marriage to one woman- amazing!
