My "Grammy" Is Going Home


My Grammy Eleanor, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, may be going home to our Heavenly Father this week. She is in the ICU fighting for her life. I am heartbroken that she will be leaving because I won't be able to call and talk to her about what is going on in our lives, I won't be able to take her out to eat after going to a doctor's appointment, I won't be able to take her to the grocery store and listen to her fascination at how much things have changed, she will never meet her grandchild she always hoped I would have (no, I am not pregnant), she will not celebrate another Christmas or birthday, she won't be in constant pain anymore from being 88 years old, I will miss her laugh that was so contagious, I will miss her fiesty personality that kept all of us on our toes and in tears from laughter, I won't be able to ask her stories about my childhood, I won't be able to hear her stories anymore about her exciting life when she was young, and most of all, I will miss her hugs. Her hugs from her petite little body have always been so strong and full of love. I will miss the love she always showed me! I will miss you Grammy!
