Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 , I am so sorry to hear about Don's Grandmother. It is never easy to loose a loved one. Just think though, now your little angel baby up there has a Grandmother to be with! {{{HUGS}}} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Hello Ladies, I just wanted to let you all know that we received some bad news last night, Don's grandmother passed away. Wow, I still can't believe it. She was the last grandmom we had between us. You know, one of the things I thought about last night was that if Don and I wouldn't of lost our little angel baby, that she would of been able to meet him/her by now but now she never will......I am sorry, it was just such a sad thought. She kept saying she wanted to come down for my baby shower. I am not sure what we are going to do yet, as far as making plans yet. Driving or flying up. As you might remember, Don was just up there but I didn't go one of the main reasons was we figured it was best I didn't fly (Don was being extra cautious) and I always freak out when flying away (usually took a Valium or something but of course I can't now) Anyway, we will leave Thurs night or Friday I am assuming. Don is trying to find out the plan up there and rearrange his work schedule. I'll let you all know...I didn't want you all to think I just disappeared. I am not sure, if I will be gone until Monday or so, I think I should go to no mail.......Jo-Ann, how do I do that? Thanks for listening and again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. {{{{{{{{Hug}}}}}}}}}}} Take care. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 , I am so very sorry honey. I lost both my grandfather (in Feb.) and grandmother (in March), so I know how devastated you and Don must be. You get so excited that your children will get to meet a great- grandparent (I never did), and then you loose them before they are born. Sometimes life just isn't fair! You will be in my thoughts and prayers. You and Don take it as easy as possible.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 , I'm so sorry to hear about Don's Grandma. Bob just lost his Grandma a couple of weeks ago, she was 95 and well, you know she was just the sweetest little lady and has always been there for me!!! She was better than Bob's Mom about babysitting the kids! She WANTED to watch them, but decided she was too old when she was 90!!! My son Matt (12) was the most heartbroken of course, he spent alot of time at the home with her playing Yahtzee and cards and just talking to her. Her nursing home was right next to our church and I drove by every day. Matt even wrote a letter that the pastor read during the service. It was a really nice touch. Mikaela got to meet great-grandma, but of course will never remember her. Grandma always said that I'd dress her in frills and lace and I'd leave the boys to babysit her and I'd come home and she'd be up a tree. The first time that little girl goes up a tree, Great-Grandma will be in heaven just laughing her head off!!! Because of that I dressed Mikaela extra frilly and lacey for the funeral. I drive by the nursing home every day and miss her like crazy! We have alot of good memories though and I'm sure that you do to. It wouldn't hurt to write down some of them and put them with some pictures of her to read to your little one some day. Take care of yourself and Don.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Vicki, We are getting ready to leave but I wanted to respond to your post. It brought tears to my eyes to hear how you talk about Bob's Grandma. I am very sorry for your loss too. It never is easy. I am so glad Matt had a chance to really know his great-grandma and that she was able to see Mikaela. You are right, we will hold onto our memories and really remember all the great times we had with them. I think that is a beautiful idea about writing down some memories and things and putting them with pics for our baby in the future. Thank you very much and thank you for taking the time to tell me about Bob's grandma, it meant alot to me. Take care. {{{{{{{{{{{{[HUG}}}}}}}}}}} Love, Re: update on dh's grandmom ,I'm so sorry to hear about Don's Grandma.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 , Thank YOU for your post! Take care of you both on the ride up. I guess the memory idea came to me because I'm terrible about remembering things and sometimes when I go back and read letters I've written etc. they are like " new " to me, there is alot that I've forgotten. Cherish the memories! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
