Saying Goodbye...

We knew the time was coming to say goodbye to grandma, so last Saturday Z and I went to have a visit, knowing that it might be the last. I took my camera to capture some moments. The first one is Z eating GG's ice cream. The second is him saying goodbye. He didnt want to give her a hug, but he was happy to shake her hand! I am glad I got in a good visit with her and got to see her smiling! When asked if I was having a baby girl or boy, she said boy...we shall see if she was right!

For My Grandma

By Ilona Blake (and changed a little bit by me)

I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,

That we've lost our Grandma, our friend and our mom

Together we have cried an ocean of tears

As we feel so empty and hold many fears

But Grandma would want us to know she's in a good place

And that she watching us all with a smile on her face

As we have made her so proud, as proud as can be

That she has raised such a beautiful and special family

Thinking back now I really must say

I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandma to this day

For in my life, you have played a special part

The memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart

For me I am glad my little boy she got to meet

And for all of us, be grateful, her life is now complete

To each one of us she has loved and cared

And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared

Although she has gone we will always be together

And her spirit will live on each one of us forever

When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star

As that will be Grandma looking down on us from afar

And now I would like to thank the good Lord above

For blessing us with our Grandma, with her kindness and love

Dear God, if it is not too much fuss

Take extra special care of our Grandma as she is very dear to us

Grandma if you are listening say a prayer for us every day

Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way

We know when God called you, you had to go

But we want you to know Grandma we miss you and love you so
