Grandma K

This has been a hard week, my mother-in-law died and I feel so lost.  She was a woman who was always there no matter what.  She was strong without really knowing how strong she was.  She was the anchor to her family and did so with a smile, but she also wasn’t afraid to swear when she was pissed off either.  She lived a tough life, but you rarely ever saw her without a smile on her face! She is the most amazing grandmother ever!  She was there for almost every sporting event she could, every time she went shopping she would come home with a bargain for one of the grandkids, she would give lots of baths and lots of kisses!  She was selfless and so very kind, and her bars were amazing! She’d put together goody bags or a card for every little holiday.

She would always be there to watch the grandkids when you needed her to, and she enjoyed it as much as they did.  In Church, which she helped guide me and introduce me to – which is now a very important role in my life – the kids always looked forward to seeing what treat Grandma had for them.

She loved every single one of her kids and grandkids and great-grandkids with every part of her, she took a lot of pride in her family.  She accepted me as one of her daughters and even when things didn’t turn out, she never ever treated me any differently. I love her just as much as my own Mom and my heart aches for her family.  I ask for some extra prayers for them during this time and prayers that the younger grandkids can remember her love, her smile and her laugh – I pray they feel how much she loved them.

Until we meet again…
