My grandmother died this morning
.I had pretty much expected it,when I visited over the holidays she looked so bad I walked right by her because I didn't recognize her.I'm sure the stress of my uncle passing didn't help,but she's found peace.
My grandmother spent her life serving others as she knew no other way.Every night the kids and I snuggle up with a handmade quilt of her making.We've stored away two maternity quilts she made for my kids when they were born and shall pass them along as keepsakes when our grandchildren are born.The fact that she sewed quilts is not so amazing until you figure out how many children,grandchildren,great grandchildren and yes great,great grandchildren she has.She was always doing something for someone but really never afforded herself any luxuries.She was a great woman.
