Ali and Family-
My heart goes out to you right now. I love your memories of your time with your grandma, they are so very special. I recently lost my grandmother (well 2 years ago) and my heart still hurts every single day when I think about it. I am most grateful that my son was able to meet her, spend time with her (if only for a few days) and know her the way I did. It is such a wonderful feeling!! After reading this today, you have helped me (in ways nobody has been able to yet) to truly look back on all the wonderful memories, jot them down and think of them. I know that my grandma and your grandma wouldn't want us sad but happy and drifting on the best memories possible. Starting today, I will do that. No more sadness of her being "gone" and away from me because her memories, her warmth, her wonderful "grandmother ways" are with me fresh and tucked deep in my heart. Thank you Ali! I know this wasn't your purpose but I truly say, "thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening the door for me to begin to truly heal and let go of the pain." Hears to happy times and blissful memories. =)

My sincere condolences to you and your family. So sorry this happened. Iam so glad that you, chris and simon have such wonderful memories of her, that's wonderful. From what I've read she left a magnificent legacy..thank you for sharing this special moment with us, it touched me.
Prayers to you and your family, with deep admiration and respect, Paola Norman

I am so sorry for your loss, but I love that you've remembered her in such a beautiful way. Hugs!

You and your family will be in my prayers. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story about your Grandmother. What a blessing to have such wonderful memories. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

What a touching post. It sounds like you have so many fond memories of your Grandma and that makes dealing with the sadness so much easier. I lost my Grandma and Grandpa on my Dad's side in the past couple of years and I hold on to the small treasures I was able to keep from their house...they are warm reminders of all the great times we had together. {{HUGS}}

dude, loved this post. it is a rich family tribute to an obviously wonderful woman.
I consider myself one of the luckiest people to be so close to you.
I am glad I was there when you heard the news. And you know that I am here if you need anything.
It's good to know that after all these years we've perfected that eye contact that acknowledges that we understand one another.
because without saying anything we both understand.
thanks for your friendship and warmth, your creative inspiration and for your genuine love. Your grandma will simply continue to shine thru you.
:)

Grandmothers are the best!!! I know yours will be very much missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
