Another day...Not so normal

March 28th 2009, one of the saddest days I have experienced in the last 10 years. The loss of my dear sweet grandmother. She died of Gliosarcoma an aggressive Brain tumor and it was pretty sudden. The funeral was April 2nd 3 days before my 25th birthday. There was something good that came out of the whole experience and that was the time I was able to spend with my cousins. I love them very much and miss the times we used to spend together. They are all so wonderful and I am grateful for their examples.
Since Grandma's death we have helped Grandpa move to her room which is the biggest room in the house, gone through all of her stuff and either given it away or had it claimed by family members. It was so hard to see her being taken from the house but in the long run it helps my dear grandpa cope with his loss and it gives him the space he has long needed. I love my grandparents, they are the only grandparents I have known and I am grateful to have had them and to still have my Grandpa.

NICOLE!!! You blogged! I am so glad, I have missed you! This post made me cry. I miss Grandma so much too. She was a wonderful woman and has left her print on all of us. I LOVED being able to see you in April and wish that we could get together more often. Smiling is so easy around you, even in sad, sad circumstances.

Know that you are loved and missed.
love,
