This past Monday, Halloween, my phone rang and it was my dad. Mind you it was like 7 something in the morning. Him calling me that early isn't that weird but at the same time I just felt it. I knew what he was going to say, that Grandma had passed away. It was something that I had been preparing myself for, but when the time came it didn't matter. I cried and thought of my family and of course of Grandma.
My grandma was an incredible woman for so many reasons. I feel as if everyone says that about their grandparents, especially when they pass. Ladies & gents my grandma is the real deal, a really amazing person. A person that you and I always strive to be.
There are many things that I admired about her but a few big things pop to my mind right away. Her grace & poise, her role as wife, mother, and grandmother, and she was a very giving person both in charity & just time.
Something that was mentioned several times this weekend at her viewings & funeral were how she was always gracefully & poised. She really was. I never saw grandma lose her cool. I think my favorite thing about this though that even when you were wrong and she wanted you to know that she did it in a graceful way.
Her and my grandpa had an amazing relationship. There was never any doubt in my mind that they had found their true love. I can only pray that Kevin and I share that kind of relationship! So far, so good. Kev is an amazing husband and best friend. I couldn't ask for more! She was also an amazing mother and grandmother. She showed her love. There was never a question we all came first to her.

There is joy knowing she is not suffering and is reunited with my grandpa. My grandma will be greatly missed by her family! I miss her so much already.
