I only just read this posting…..and I just wanted to pass on a virtual hug to you and the rest of your family.

I cannot imagine what this must be like for you…..but do hope your “new” normal comes on wings powered by wonderful memories from the past.

Our sympathies, Ivy, to you and yours. May you all find comfort in the Redeemer and joy in your memories.
My mother was also born in 1917 — though she was a city girl, born and raised in NYC. She married the love of her life in 1941; Dad passed away at 75 in 1993. Mom’s still making it from day to day, though at a much slower pace!
I agree that we can learn alot from their generation, and the ones before, about care for the earth, thrift, and priorities. “Green” isn’t a new idea!
Blessings.

Ivy, I’m so sorry to hear that your grandmother passed away. I’m so glad that she knew the Lord – what a wonderful thing to have assurance of!

Ivy, I’m very sorry for your loss but understand the relief you felt with her finally passing, finally not being in pain, finally back to herself, and I do think your grandfather was there in heaven waiting for her. What a loving tribute to a loving woman.

It is an incredible feeling to be so sad and relieved and happy to see family and thankful that the waiting is over and once again, sad that a family member has passed on.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I’m sorry to hear of your grandmother’s passing, and I completely understand your relief. It sounds like you have some wonderful memories of her, and better yet, memories you are keeping alive in your daily life. That makes her a little bit immortal, as her spirit lives on through you, and through the lessons you pass on to your children and to your readers.

Blessings to your family, and the next time you feel her presence, give your grandma a wink for me. ;o)

I’ve followed your posts about your grandmother’s illness and know that this is a relief for you as well as a great loss. I’m glad that you know your grandmother is happy and in a much better place. I will keep you in my prayers. The “eulogy” was lovely.
