idamae, So sorry to read the news. I rode down east to spend some time with my  parent's this weekend. You helped me make the time with the updates your post. As you know, she is in a better place and the illness is gone. Fill the hole in your heart with the sweet memories that you and her shared. Time will heal the wound but it will never scar over. She lives on in you.
Take care Dear. My prayers are still with ya as always.

Deepest condolences;
You got to say a proper Good-Bye and she got to leave in the company of loved ones, damn few get to do either.

Say a prayer, have a drink, pet a dog & hug who could use it, then head out proud - You did well

thank you! im glad i could help you make time with your parents! i visit with my mom alot or as much as i can! thank you for your prayers! bless your heart! much love to you

thank you! the thaught that i had painted her nails before she passed made me happy because it made her day for me to do that! and you know i did all those things! im still a lil sad but im ok today! thank you an much love to you sweety

you know alot of people go through life not knowing their grandparents or their own family.... i was abandoned as a child an adopted at 5 yrs old. never knew my real family, met them when i was 15 yrs of age...... wow what a let down they were! i realized that its not blood that make you family! its love and the ones who are there when you skin your knee or fall of your bike or crash your mini bike into a tree and when you have a happy or sad moment! my family are the ones that raised me with love, kindness and a firm hand when i needed it! hahahaha and i did need a firm hand more then once! anyway my granny and my mom use to tell me they got to pic me to be their child and grand child and that they were the lucky ones! well i am the lucky one who got to be so blessed to have them be my family! so remember tomorrow is not garanteed and yesterday is gone! dont wait to tell someone you love them, and dont wait to give them a hug an a kiss! thank you my dear friends for being here for me.... im so blessed to have met you all! 

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Idamae.
Love & Prayers!!
