Our sweet Grandma will be missed. She passed away last night. Nick had been with her all day. He has been able to spend alot of time with her in these past few weeks and is extremely grateful for that. She was at peace with going and being with those that have gone before her. They spent many hours praying together, and that memory has helped Nick immensely.
The kids are very upset, understandably. Sammy especially has a million questions and cried himself to sleep last night. Because Taishauna has known all along she has had more time to get used to the idea. We have spent some time talking about all our good memories and have been able to smile through the tears.
I'm not sure how to handle the upcoming days. I had assumed the boys would not come to most of the services, but now I think maybe Sammy will need more closure than I thought. He keeps saying, "How do you know she is dead, maybe she is just sleeping." So we will have to figure this one out.
Goodbye Mattie, you will be missed, but alive forever in our memories.
