A Sad Good-bye

So this has been a hard week for us- B's Grandma Della passed away early Tuesday morning in her sleep. The funeral was today with the visitation last night. It was pretty unexpected. About a month ago I took the kids back with Lana to visit for about four days. She seemed to be doing so well and we had a really great time. What a blessing that we went and spent that time with her. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know her as well as I did, and so disappointed that I didn't have more time to get to know her better. It has been especially hard on B's mom who was so very close to her mother- much like I am to my own. B has a HUGE extended family (She had 10 kids!) and it was really hard on everyone. She was probably the best person I have ever met. No one ever heard her utter a bad word about anyone. Her walk with the Lord was one to be envious of. I drove home tonight after the funeral with G so I can work tomorrow. We had a good few days with family- though the circumstances weren't ideal, of course. I'm so lucky to have married into such a wonderful family. Terribly- I don't have any pictures of her with G...
