I can’t believe it’s already been 2 months since she passed.  I’ve lost family members before, but never someone this close.  My grandmother was an amazing woman.  Her sense of humor, her generosity, the way she opened her heart to everyone.  Today would be her 80th birthday.  She was so proud and looking forward to making the 80th year mark, unfortunately she fell just a couple months short.  But in her final days of battling the cancer that took over her body so quickly, we gave her her 80th birthday.  We (about 12 of us) were at her house all surrounding her in her bed.  We had a cake with lit candles and as we sang she smiled her last smile.  I really do miss her so so much. I picked out a pretty silk flower arrangement and went to her grave today.  I hadn’t been there since her burial on July 2nd.  I look forward to the day that I get to see her again.
