Grammy has gone to heaven…

Grammy passed away on friday night around 8:45. My mom called me about 9:30 to let me know. Brenda told me that the last thing to go is the hearing and that it can even last after the person has died (I’m not so sure I believe that but what could it hurt right). So I asked my mom to put the phone to her ear an I tried to tell her how much I loved her and how much I will miss her. It was hard to say. I barley squeaked it all out before I lost the connection on my cell. It was just as well anyways b/c I burtsed into tears after that.

My mom said that she noticed that Grammy wasn’t breathing well and that was when they realized she was getting ready to go. All four of Grammy’s kids were there and they all stood around her as she went. What an awesome way to go. Surrounded by your children.

I’m glad I wasn’t there for that. It would have been hard for me. Normally when people die I feel all creepy after and I am afraid to even walk around the house by myself. Not this time. I feel comfort in the fact that Grammy is in a better place without pain. Some people think that when a person dies their family who went before them comes to take them to Heaven. I hope that someone came for her…

It just doesn’t feel real…

Anyhow, the funeral is on Wednesday at 1 and the viewing is the night before. That gives me a couple days to get it together before I see her and everybody. Eeesh, this had been a hard time but I am OK. It is sad but I know that she is OK now and she can watch over us or whatever people do after they pass.
