We say good-bye

We lost Grandma this morning. We were all here and had spent the night at Mom's taking turns sitting with her. Hospice was so wonderful. I can't descirbe the loss and won't truly feel it until a year from now when I am celebrating something very special and notice the hole left by our matriarch. There won't be a lot of pics posted this month but there will be so many passing by in my mind. She raised us too and we went clothes shopping before school each year, she made us snacks "up the hill", watched us as we swam. She wore the best pink lipstick although I always made fun and never told her how wonderful she looked to me. She adored Ethan. I am full of sadness when Ithink of him growing up without his Mi-ma. She will miss out on so many of his firsts and he will miss a very warm and loving person who can chase you with a wooden spoon like nobody else I know.
