Ok, so I posted in September that we had just found out that my grandmother had been told that she had cancer in her brain and was not given much time...6 months or less. Well that 6 months turned into 6 weeks. She passed away on October 11th at home at the age of 72, peacefully and no struggle. Me and my mom and aunts were able to be there with her during that time. She was tickled pink when she found out she had cancer because she always said that when the Lord was ready to take her home, she would gladly go. She was happy the whole time. Most of my family could not understand why she would act that way, but I understood and it helped me so much to see her faith in the Lord.
I am glad that she is in Heaven right now and not suffering and having the time of her life, but I miss her soooooo much. Aside from my husband she was my best friend. I have had her at my side since the day I was born. We have never been apart except for vacations. So I miss her so very much and it is so weird to wake up and not have her here. I even find that sometimes I will do something or something will happen to me and I have that first reaction that I need to go tell Ma.
I want to thank everyone who prayed for me and my family. Thank you so much. It was a special time with her during the last 6 weeks and Ma had so much fun during those six weeks and laughed a LOT!

Oh, Krissie, I'm SO sorry for your loss - as close as you were it must be great and you have a lot of grieving ahead of you.
But what a blessing that the other side of that grief is the joy you have in knowing not only where she is, but in being able to see her joy in anticipating going there. I can honestly say that I totally relate to that. If I found out tomorrow that I was dying of cancer there would be no fear, no regrets and great joy. (And a mad scramble to finish up all my scrapping projects!)
God keep you and bless you,
Jan
