I'll fly Away....

Its been a rough week. On tuesday of last week my grandmother was rushed to the hospital, for what we thought was her low blood pressure and blood sugar, in our minds it was just a precaution. Little did we know that God had a different plan for her life. On Thursday night, we all stayed at the hospital until the wee hours of the morning, holding her hand, praying over her and sharing with her how much we all loved her. We were told she would not make it through the night. At 7:10 a.m. on October 1, 2010 she passed away, just 2 days shy of her 71st birthday and 17 days shy of her 52 wedding anniversary. Who would have thought, that after 7 months of fighting and a miracle, that this would happen. We all knew the day would come, we just never guessed so soon. I know there won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of her. I have been blessed this past month to have gotten to spend every day with her. She has been so excited about the wedding and just adores Jameson. I am glad I didn't hold anything back, I am glad I shared with her all that I could, and I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life. Everyday she loved on me, everyday she smiled and laughed with me, and every day she kissed me and told me how special I was and how much she loved me.Little did I know that those would be my last memories with her, and moments that touched me and changed me every day.

All I can hope for in life, is to have as happy and joyful marriage as her and my grandfather had. To be as wonderful of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. And to love unconditionally as she always did with me. She came to everything I ever did in life and always supported me 110%, and I know as she watches me from heaven she is doing the very same thing. I will miss having her in my life, and I am saddened that she will not be here to see me get married or have children, but I know in my heart that God needed her with Him. I hope to be just like her, and I will strive my hardest.

Please keep my family and I in your prayers as this is going to be a rough time for us all. She will be deeply missed and always on our hearts. I love you grandma and miss you dearly!
