just to let you ladies know that have been and will be absent from the boards for the next few days. i have had a death in the family and have decided to take some personal time.
just to let you know- it was my 83 year old grandmother, and i had had her in my life since before i was even concieved. she gave me the best 24 almost 25 years of my life. and every day lived it as my best friend. even as a child i knew that she would be my best friend until the day we died. she fell and hit her head on last thursday and ended up in the hospital on saturday- by sunday her condition had worsened to the point that we knew it was time. i had promised her many times over that i would be there until the day she died and vowed to never leave her side. as she lay there, making her peace with everyone and god, and in her coma, though unresponsive physically, she could still hear i believe. i held her in my arms and described the most beautiful sunset on top of a mountain that we were experiencing together. in the end, it had to be one of the hardest most emotionally draining days of my life, i learned to let go and be happy for her, for surely i will see her again. As her sons, my uncle and father, and the rest of the family came in, i quietly took my place next to them, and witnessed one of the most beautiful things in my entire life. the closing of a chapeter here, and the opening of a new spiritual life in heaven.
thank you for your time, and i am sure that i will be back on here in a few days. i just need a few days to finish helping with the final plans, and being brave for my father before taking some time to let it process in my mind. the hardest part is knowing that you cant pick up the phone to call and say i love you one last time. at least i heard it saturday as the last words that we could understand she spoke " tell her I love her too."

truely happy, and at peace.. i feel like a completely different person. praise be to God!
