Granny's Homegoing
I will interrupt my blogging vacation to share that my dear grandmother is finally home with the Lord as of sometime between 7:30 and 7:40pm this evening. She would have been 101 at the end of February.

This was not unexpected, but the likelihood of it progressed rather quickly, by the mercy of God. She had a stroke a little over a month ago that left her bedridden, unable to insert her teeth, without much use of the left side of her body, and unable to talk clearly. For a woman who was still cutting her own grass at 90, and was still living on her own until she was around 95 (96? Mom will have to correct me on the age), being in this situation was the worst place she could be in. Because she had her mind until the very end. It was her body that finally quit.
But, she said she would walk again before she was 101. And, now, she is walking. And laughing. And singing praises to God as she could not do at the end of her life. She is finally home. And the end of an era has come.
We love you Granny.

Prayers are with y'all. I'm sure she'd tell you she enjoys seeing Jesus as part of her daily routine.
To everything there is a season. A time to love grandmothers and a time to lose grandmothers. She left a wonderful legacy as did my dh's. Treasure those memories and pass that heritage on (as you are) to the next generation! Our prayers are with you.
Our prayers are with you all. No more sorrow, no more pain...all is peace forevermore!
Oh, I feel for you, friend. I always imagined my grandmother was like a locust shell at the end of her life...her body was there, still attached to the earth, but the part of her that mattered was already in Heaven with the Lord. Didn't make it much easier for us to let her body go...I'll be praying for you.
My thoughts are with you.
