My amazingly brave,strong,and loving grandma lost her battle on January 28th after 18 months of fighting brain cancer. In August of 08,when she had her first stroke, I slowly watched the grandma I had known for 23 years turn into someone I will never forget. I feel inlove with her all over again. The tumor had for the most part made it impossible for her to do ANYTHING on her own, however her personality changed as well. My grandma was always the one who did everything for our family. She was the glue. She is an inspiration. And while she wasn't the same grandma for the last 18 months of her life, she was SUCH a pleasure to be around. I will forever be thankful for the fact that I lived just 20 minutes away and visit her alot. In the last week of her life I would just lay next to her, and the only words she would attempt to say was an answer back to me when I would say "i love you". she couldn't say it, but she would try. And she could squeeze my hand..I will never forget those last moments. I am so sad that she is gone. My heart breaks for my grandpa who is trying to manage through life with out her. Who might I add, gave her service(he is a minister) talking about gut wrenching. And my mom who took care of her for 18 months, along with fighting cancer herself. My grandma was laid to rest very close to my sister and I just know they are up in Heaven laughing, and making mashed potatoes and saving a spot for the rest of us. And that, alone gives me overwhelming peace. :)
