A tribute to my sweet sweet Gram!
This year has been a rough one for sure. I lost two very special people in the span of 6 days this January. My dear uncle Jeff lost his battle with cancer on his 60th Birthday, January 11, 2014. 6 days later I held his mother's hand (my gram) as she passed away to join her son and husband in the heavenly gates above. Shock, sadness, anxiety, pain, and sickness overcame me this winter. I was not ready for these people to leave this earth. I'm getting married in June, and I want them both to be there more than anything. I miss them. I hurt for my dad and my aunt who lost their brother and mother in the same week, for my cousins who lost their dad and grandma in the same week, for my aunt who lost her soul mate and best friend. Life doesn't seem so fair sometime, but what I do know is that they both died peacefully, surrounded by those who loved them. The hardest thing with grief is addressing it for me. Sitting in it, letting it consume me, giving a real good cry.... lettin...
