So Sad

I haven't been too chatty on the blog the past few days. I just learned recently that my grandmother's heart is failing and there really isn't much that the doctors can do for her. Her body is just worn out.

I am so sad about this. Every day I keep remembering new things about her teaching me to bake, or stories about her various animals over the years, her love of gardening and family history stories. She has just packed so much into 80+ years of life. I know that we are all mortal, and I do believe in Heaven, but it's still so overwhelming to stare it all in the face.

    So sorry to hear that. It's easy to see that she's lived a long happy life, but always hard to endure. My thoughts are with you.
