Last night when I was falling asleep I thought maybe I could turn it into a dream, and then I dreamt that I rode a bicycle as fast as I could to her house and ran inside and saw her and she was gone. I woke up confused about reality, feeling sick and shaky as I recalled the phone call from my mom the night before. She is really gone. I just dreamed the bicycle part.
She was healthy and fine and this came out of nowhere.
My heart is sick. Please pray for my family, especially my Uncles and Mom who have lost both of their parents in a little more than a year. She was our family cornerstone. I cannot believe this.
Oh gosh, I am so sorry :( My best friend also lost her grandmother this week -- it's so hard.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you lots <3
Dear Imaginary Internet friend (for lack of a better word): about a year before my baby was born I lost my two remaining grandparents within 3 months of each other. I so feel your loss my dear.
ReplyDeleteCherish those pictures of your kiddos with your Gran, they are so precious, and they will ease the sting at least a little bit.
My prayers are with you.
She's beautiful. I'm so sorry. I just lost mine two months ago and the pain is very fresh. My heart goes out to you.

ReplyDeleteIt's so sad .. The week my grandpa passed the doctors kept saying he could be completely turned around next week .. So we held on to that little hope that stood no chance . He was ready to go be with my grandma .. He missed her and he was ready to go . It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it . So I can't say I know how you feel because I dont .. But I do empathize with you . My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time . *hugs*

Oh, Erin. My heart hurts for you. I am so very sorry. You and your family will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh, I ma so so sorry! My heart and prayers are with you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry, Erin. It's such a blow to lose our grammies. From the pictures, she was clearly a beautiful, strong, devoted woman.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you.
I lost both my grandmothers in December 2005, both quite unexpectedly. It was a tough, rotten, bleak, muddling Christmas that year, but I rejoice in the hope that I will see them again someday.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. My grandma died a year ago, on my birthday, 10 days before Gage was born. It's still painful.
Many prayers to you and your family.
Erin. I'm so sorry. I only hope that you can find comfort in the wonderful memories you share with your Grandma. Saying a prayer for you & your family now...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, Erin. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo of you and your grandma. Her pose is so welcoming and confident and warm. And you? You are lovely (as you always are).

I just ran across your blog, quite randomly, but I couldn't resist lending my love and good thoughts to you at this awful time. May you find strength and joy in good memories.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Erin-
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. My nana is such an integral part of our lives, so I understand how devastating a loss this is. I'm sorry she's gone, and that your heart is hurting. Your Grandma Sue reminds me of my nana so much. I'll be praying for you and your family, with everything I have. I wish I knew what to say, but I don't. Just know you're being sent love and prayers with the heaviest of hearts. I'm so very sorry, dear friend.
I'm so sorry. That loss is so hard. xoxox

ReplyDeleteoh erin, i am so sorry. she was a beautiful woman, and i could always see your great love for her and your grandfather in your posts. so many prayers.
ReplyDeleteA virtual hug to all of you. How very sad for this to happen. Those are beautiful pictures of her with the children.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos those are. I am so sorry for your loss. Grandparents have had a special place in my heart and life too. I will be praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh, Erin. Oh, my heart aches.
ReplyDeleteI lost my beloved grandmother this time last year. Her passing was quite expected, though certainly still painful for all of us. I am so sorry to hear she slipped away so suddenly.
My heart and prayers are with you as you mourn.
From what I know of you, sweet Erin, there is so much of beautiful Sue, your grandmother, inside of you. Praying and thinking about you constantly.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Steph
Awww Erin, Doggone it. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteAlso? I'm so glad she got to meet Hal!
I'm sure she's showing your pictures around to all her new friends in heaven and they're talking about how beautiful you are, and what a great little mommy you are. And what a great little family you have. (I know this wasn't a grammarrific paragraph - so sue me)
I'm sure Victoria is already calling her grandma and giving her a smile with her little head cocked like she has always done. She's in good hands.
Thank God for grandmas like we ours. They make this world inhabitable.
That first picture brought tears to my eyes when I started to read what you were actually posting about. My heart is sad for your family, Erin. Your grandmother is beautiful. I'm certain you carry a big part of her with you, so remember that even though she may no longer be present in body, she is with you all in spirit.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for you. This is so sad. I can imagine how hard of a time you and your family must be having right now. How special those grandparents are to you. You are in my thoughts and heart.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry about this. Your grandmother was absolutely beautiful. grandmothers like that leave a big mark on the world and people they touch. I can see it in you through this blog. Many prayers and lots of love your way.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family during this time.
ReplyDelete((Hugs))
Erin, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and the rest of your family are in my prayers. Those pictures just took my breath away, though. So beautiful, and so much love in them.

ReplyDeletethinking of you and your family, lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy sweet darling woman... I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I wish I could say something more helpful...
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd been closer to my grandmother(s). One passed when I was about 9 years old... the other just last year. I hadn't seen her since my sister's wedding 10 years prior (Jamaica is far, far away...) and I wish I'd known her better. I would have asked her things... le sigh.
I think of you, Sugar... xoxoxoxoxoxox
oh erin, I am so so sorry. I feel so awful that I've not been around (virtually speaking) to know about this! I am praying for you and your family. I can't believe what a year you've had.
ReplyDelete(I really miss you and your beautiful words.)
