I lost my grandmother on July 4 and miss her terribly. It is the best thing for her - no more suffering, no more tears. But it is a loss just the same and Jayden remembers her often, "I miss Great-Grandma" We used to take her for drives, go to get ice cream or just drive by the beach. Yesterday we went to the park where we used to go together, let the kids play so we could chat. It was sad to not have her there, but we haven't been able to take her there for months. Harder than missing her has been watching her slowly deteriorate. It was a good news, bad news day when we lost her.
The pictures of the girls riding horses might not make sense except that it was the same day as the funeral. We went to the horse farm open house where my sister works to check it out that morning. The girls had a blast and got to ride all on their own. It was a good distraction for the morning. The afternoon brought many tears and many more great memories of a woman who was more than just my grandmother, she was a roommate for a time, and even moreso a friend. I miss you.
