Final Trips

My dear Grandma Barb passed away this morning at 1:25. All of her kids got to see her and spend a little time with her before she went on her way. She was with my Aunt Leslie and the hospice nurse, Halli, that I spoke so highly of in a previous post.

Addison is so sad. I just can't quite get to her that Grandma is in a much better place and that she can still hear her, if she listens, in her heart. I, on the other hand, am not as sad. Not today anyway. My Grammy is in a wonderful, happy, joyous place where she can walk and talk and be merry again..... with Grandpa! Thirty years is a long time to wait to be with your spouse again. They are finally happy. They are at peace. Thank you God for calling her Home. She deserves it all.

The funeral is Friday at 10 am. Then, I will be sad. I already miss her smile.

I miss her, too. Sob, sob! It is a happy thing when someone's suffering is over- relief, joy, peace. See you soon. AJ
