Mom

[im fine]

I haven't been online for about 5 days. Went to our annual family campout, without hubby's mom as she hasn't been well. We arrived on Thursday, with about 35 of us all told, and got the call at 1am on Friday that she had passed. We had just toasted her that evening. She was a wonderful woman who accepted me into her family from day one, as did Dad, who we lost almost 7 years ago, and said that I was the one for her son. We camped as was planned, as she had a pre-planned funeral and knew that she wouldn't want us to run back just for her. Funeral was today, everything went beautifully. Lots of friends, family, food, stories and tears. I did get to have a special call with my AS who is in prison, and told him that Grandma had passed. He's having a real hard time with it, as he was close to her and visited her in the nursing home and would sit on her bed and just hold her hand. He could not get out for the funeral as he still has charges pending, but was still listed as a pall bearer, as were all the grandsons. He'll get through this, we all will, but right now a part of me is missing, she was a real Mom to me.

You and your family and son will be in my

I'm sorry to hear this. I understand how you feel that a part of you is missing. It is, but another part of her will stay with you always. My deepest condolences go out you and your family.
