My last living grandparent, my dad’s mom, died early Saturday morning.  By God’s grace she is happy and she has been reunited with loved ones long passed.

She entered the hospital last week.  I knew she was not doing well, but it still comes as a shock to learn of someone passing.  My grandmother’s eldest child was with her when she died and I am grateful that she was not alone.  She’d spent most of her life alone.

I will not be going back to attend the funeral services.  My parents & I discussed this and decided that I should come back, as previously planned for Thanksgiving, rather than trying to make two trips in one month.   I’ll miss seeing my extended family and being there, especially with my father.  My thoughts and prayers are with them all though.

May you rest in eternal peace Grandma.
