Last week I got a call at work from Kevin that my last living grandparent had passed at way. Her passing came as no surprise, but with great joy for her. She has been aching to see her husband Jay for almost 13 years now.
For the past few years, she has been living with my uncle and aunt in Bountiful. When it got to be too much for them (they still have young kids at home), grandma was either going to a home or coming to Cali. Mom and Dad won. Grandma Grace (as we called her to differentiate from my mother- Grandma Thomas) came to live with my parents about 3 months ago and passed away in my parent's home. They are pros at taking care of their parents. When I was 8 years old my mother's parents both came to live with us in our home and both passed away in a home with a family who loved them. This was a special time for us in Cali. All our kids out here were able to "get to know" Gma Grace and give her hugs, dance for her, give kisses, and entertain her. We were all able to celebrate her 91st bday with her. She ate more that day than she had all week having about 3 servings of birthday cake and ice cream! Way to go grams! We love you Grandma. We will miss you. But, we are happy you are home again.
