Sad times

I have had a hard time, the last couple of days. My grandmother passed away. Besides my mother and father, she raised me. I don't think that I have a great memory, that doesn't include her. I have gotten so much support from family members this last week. Also friends have come through.

I have to thank Robyn's family. Mom Mom, Aunt Gwen, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Bud, Zack, and Robyn's parents have been great. I am so grateful for their thoughts and well wishes. My friends have been supportive. Robyn and Mason have been fantastic. I have not been the best person to live with lately because of my mood. Being down and out of it sometimes.

I had a long weekend. First we have had a tournament scheduled for awhile. My softball team set it up in February. Then Wednesday the 25th of March my dad calls me and tells me my gram is in the hospital. She was having problems with her gallbladder. They were going to have to take it out. So the 26th comes and my dad calls and gives me the news of her passing. I was in shock and crying at the same time. I was in the middle of my work day, but wanted so bad to be home. I finished my route because there really was nothing I could do. That was a hard day. I went down to my dads after work to see everyone. Saturday I had work again, but after work I had the first day of the tournament. It was a good distraction from life at that moment. The tournament went pretty good. We had a good turn out and teams said they had a good time. I couldn't stay all day on Sunday.

Now came the viewing. My gram looked good, they did a nice job at Stevens Mortuary. I saw family and friends that I have not seen in awhile. Mason looked good in his sweater and pants. Robyn looked beautiful in her outfit.

I have had the weekend from HE"Double Hockey Sticks".....LOL!!!!! A little joke to lighten the mood. But as I said before my family and friends helped.

I was talking to Robyn the other night and she said she remembers when I used to go to Hills. I would always ask my gram to buy me a matchbox car. If she said no I would go, with a pout face "Please Gram Please." then I would usually get it. That memory made me laugh. I also remember when my friend Jesse and I would go out somewhere and my gram would always ask if I needed money. Or when I slept over at her house, she would set up a little mattress by her and my grandfathers bed. Then I would get up and go to church with them. Then we would go out to breakfast. I have a million more just like these.

I will never forget you gram, ever. I love you and miss you. I am not the only one that feels that way.
