This first Wednesday is a bit unusual for me. Normally I would be writing about my mom and dad, but due to circumstances I am writing about my Grandma Donna. My grandma passed away last Friday, and today is the day of her funeral. My mom had my sister and I, and our children, write her a note, then we placed them in her grave with her. My note was very simple, it told her that I loved her and that she was all the grandma I could have ever wished for. I could have gone on and on about all of the things that we did together. Most of those things were just everyday events that we got to do together. But now that she is up in heaven, she will remember them. The Alzheimer's is gone, her memory is back, and she knows who I am again.
So today, I am thankful for my grandma. For loving me, taking care of me, and just being herself.
We will miss you Grandma. We love you dearly.

So glad you shared about your grandma. I hope today is a day of joy celebrating the life she lived.
I love your perspective on this. I'll be writing about my Grandma as well, so this one was a tear jerker for me. I'm sorry to hear that Alzheimer's took her mind. May you be at some peace today at the funeral.
May today be a celebration of your dear one's life. So very difficult when Alzheimers takes loved ones from us. Praise the Lord, she's free now! Thanks for sharing:)
You made me cry. Thank you for sharing about your Grandmother. I hope this day has been one of peace for you and your family.

I too shed a tear for you, your Grandma and your loss. I understand how important Grandmas are too us and what an incredible blessing they are in our lives.
I lost my Nan three years ago and there is not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her.
Thank you so much for sharing :-)
Great post Brenda! Gma was so important to us and we need to hold on to that memory of her and not the memory of her sick. She was like a second mother to us and I miss her dearly.
