At 9:30 Maryland time Grandma stopped breathing. Mom told me this morning when I woke up. I'm really glad that the girls and I got to visit with her before we left. I know not one has anything to do with the other but last night was the first night since we got here that the whole house got any rest. I pulled the pack and play down from the attic and hung up a thick curtain so the light wouldn't come in from outside and Julia fell asleep right away. So we all slept through the whole night. It just made me think that maybe something in Omas' bones told her that everyone she loves is taken care of. My Aunt Kathy was staying with her which I think was the best possible person to be there; being the oldest daughter and the one who has tried to get back to visit as much as possible.
My grandma has been the most graceful and humble person I have ever known all the way up until the end. I know she has lived a full life and was a wonderful mother, wife, and oma. The last time I sat with her we looked at pictures; we laughed and smiled about them, especialy the one with her and my grandpa and his big bushy beard, she looked at that one for a very long time. I think she was ready for the next step and I'm just glad we got a chance to say goodbye.

I am sorry to hear about your Grandmother but it sounds like she is with your Grandfather now playing with his big bushy beard.
Are you guys going to the funeral?
Let me know how you are doing
Yeah, they're in heaven. I just worry that it'll be hard on my Dad having lost both parents. I know that they were up there in age but none the less it has got to be hard anyway. We wont be able to make it to the funeral because of the cost but I'm sure grandma would understand.
