We had a pretty rough week last week. Adrian's granny had a fall and became ill all in a matter of days. Monday of last week they took her off the ventilator and she passed Tuesday morning. It's a shame you think about all the good times you had with someone after they pass. Why is it so hard to remember those people everyday?
I remember when I first met Adrian's granny. He was going to one of the monthly birthday get togethers at his Granny and Pawpaw's house. I was pretty stressed out about this mainly because I am from the brown foot tribe and they are from the white foot tribe. Wouldn't you know I get there and the whole family looks past that! It was a great evening. We went to church with Adrian's grandparents many times while we were dating and shortly after we were married. His granny was so funny. I liked the fact that she was married to a preacher and she would still smack him (in a playful way) when he said something she didn't quite agree with. Adrian's granny took the time and hemmed up my HUGE wedding dress the week prior to our wedding. I'm sure that took a lot of patience. She even made Adrian's groom's cake. The thing I learned most from his granny was to just laugh. When she started suffering from her Alzheimer's she would just laugh. That is so much better than being sad or angry. I need to really think about that these days!
If you still have a "granny" or grandpa, put your arms around them while you can. Sometimes they go home to the Lord in a blink.
