I got back yesterday from laying my grandmother to rest after her long fight with her health. She was a character and in the last year especially, she had to battle every day with such pain that her spirit was a shell of what it used to be. I'm sad she's left our family but know she is free of the weight she had with such hardships. The irony of it all was at the grave sit during the reading, a load bird off in the distance keep chattering on. For those of use that knew her it was like her last good bye...she was a very honest and opinionated woman. So we felt it was her way of telling us we were doing something wrong and it made us all smile. My grandfather especially that had been married for over 66 years! That's why we loved her so much and miss her greatly.
