My Grandma passed away this last Thursday - April 22. I found out as we were waiting in the airport for our flight out to visit. She hadn't been doing very well for quite some time but took a quick turn for the worst at the beginning of the week so we decided to head out for a visit. We knew it was a possibility that we might not make it in time so it wasn't a complete shock but still rough.
It was great to be able to see all my family together even for a sad occasion. My Grandma was a pretty neat lady. She was incredibly talented. It has been very difficult for her in the past few years as she wasn't able to put those skills to use anymore. When I was younger she did a lot of ceramics and quilting. She made a quilt for our wedding. She was also the one who was always responsible for the pies at any holiday gathering. I loved to visit and learn from her. She would send me care packages with dinner rolls instead of cookies when I was in college because they were my favorite. We will definitely miss her but I am glad that she isn't suffering anymore.
I will post some pics from our trip soon......
