We are home, settling back in from our trip to Lynchburg. Grandma's services at both Westminster Canterbury and Euclid Christian Church were beautiful and inspiring. Her strength, faith, loyalty, and friendship... unwavering. She choose to stay positive no matter what life dealt. I love how she said, "Tough times won't last, but tough people do."
Thought out the past 3 weeks I have had multiple conversations with Kate about what was happening. I know the conversations have provided her with understanding, and yet have healed me at the same time. When Grandma died she was very sad, but so happy when I told her she was now her guardian angel. Kate's face beamed and she said to me, "Will she come to see me and give me kisses and tell me that she loves me?" I told her she would in her dreams, and she replied, "When she does, I will come wake you so you can see her too." (I just love you Kate.) And at times I just had to laugh... Kate understood we were going to Lynchburg to celebrate Grandma's life and bury Grandma's body. On our way to the cemetery she asked if she could bring her cup and I said no, we would leave it in the car. She replied, " Well the cup would be good to fill with dirt and fill into the hole." LOL, Goodness knows what had been going though her mind! She did really well and tried to be quiet during the service. It was hard not to hush her at times because of the sweet things she would say about Grandma and she even drew a picture of her. I am sure that Grandma was smiling down at the girls in their matching dresses, and Stephen in his seersucker pants. She loved her great grandchildren and in her past five years, they brought her immense joy.
