Grandma Update

My Sweet Grandma took a turn for the worse this weekend. Her body is shutting down. The family all gathered at the hospital tonight to say their goodbyes. It was really hard for me. I am really going to miss that Lady! I was at work when my mom called me to tell me the news that they had decided to take my grandma off of her feeding tube. It was hard to hold it together the rest of the day.

I was one of the last ones to make it up to the hospital tonight. When I got to my grandma's room and held her hand and told her I was there she looked up at me and said, "Oh Christa, you made it. I'm so glad you're here. You're the last one I wanted to see, I can go in peace now." It really touched my heart that she was waiting for me. I love her so much, and it was really nice to feel her love for me tonight.

My mom told me after I left her room that my sister Rachael had got there earlier and when she had sat down to tell my grandma goodbye my grandma thought she was me and said to her she was so glad I was there and that I had been so good to her. I'm so glad to have been able to serve her just a little bit these last few years. I only wish I would have done more.

The last thing I told her was that I would take care of my Grandpa. I know she is worried about him being alone. She kept telling me last week to not forget that I had a Grandpa after she was gone. It broke my heart. They are such a great example of Love. I hope that Logan and I are as sweet and tender with each other through out our life together.

My Grandpa gave her a blessing tonight, I was not able to be there to witness it, but my Aunt told me that in the blessing he told her that she was a daughter of God and that he was releasing her from this life. I'm sure it was not easy for him. I have never seen him express very much emotion and it has been very touching to see him so loving and sweet over the last few weeks. She is so lucky to have had him as her husband.

I love you Grandma.
