Well, Gma made it till this morning. She finally had her last stand. She's at peace and no longer straining to breathe. I will miss her and her mouthiness. it's hard to believe. Happy halloween. her brother passed away 29 years ago today as well.

My deepest sympathies. Hang tight to all the precious memories and let the sad ones fly away.

It's hard to believe that at times we miss what aggravated us the most about someone. Those are the personalities that shape us though.

Oh, her mouthiness didn't aggravate me.. lol. it made me laugh to hear her calling someone... a "witch" without the "w" right in the nursing home.. it made me laugh to hear her telling one of the kids off.. her own kids.. it made me laugh to hear her stories about switches and when my dad would be sent out to cut his own he'd come back with one that wasn't up to par so she made him go out and get another and she'd switch him with both. that'd teach me. but i dont' think i was ever naughty enough to be switched. i was naughty but not like her kids.. OMG. the things some of them did.

I don't know when or where the funeral will be. i do know she will be cremated. I believe the funeral will be at the same place as my dad's cuz they got it free for him. so it will probaly be free for her too. i will be cooking again for it. probably not taking the day off to do it though. who knows. i got enough time to take off.

it's just hard to think that her and my dad are gone. harder to think of my dad as being gone cuz he was not that old and she just celebrated her 87th. unfortunately when her children from Nevada showed up she wasn't coherent to even know they were here. it was hard on both of them.. i could just imagine. it was hard on me seeing my dad laying in that bed and he was... all drugged up.. and didn't know much.. he'd wake up and drift off all the time. if that was all i had left of my dad.. id do it all over again just to spend a few minutes with him.. but i woudln't ever want him to suffer that way ever again.

they say, you don't know what you had until it's gone.. they are right.. totally. i didn't realize HOW much i had..
