High School Graduation
Utah College of Dental Hygiene Graduation
I lost this amazing woman last night. We had no idea that this was coming. Her health was good until we discovered some heart complications last month. We were told that it was caught early and that with surgery she would probably have 15 more years. I knew she missed my grandpa, but I thought they wouldn't reunite for many more years. I know that she was greeted in Heaven by many loved ones. She is able to be with her parents, husband, brother, grandson, and children (Blake and Sheri). Although they are happy to be together again there is a lot of heart ache here on Earth.
I was so blessed to grow up close to my grandparents. I always knew that they loved their grandchildren. I have been told that my grandma is in Heaven rocking my baby and that she is probably warning her about my card playing and how many times she had to purchase "Old Maid," because I destroyed it. I loved playing cards with my grandparents. When I was in high school I would go to their house and play almost every Sunday night. I missed those Sundays once I moved away to college. My grandma was so good about taking us to our various activities, but she often ran a little behind. I'll never forget the time I told her if I was more than 10 minutes late to ballet I had to sit out. She was determined to get me there on time, and drove 90mph down the Lewisville Hwy. I made it!
Grandma loved her garden and it got bigger and bigger every year. This fall i bottled 18 pints of salsa with tomatoes that she grew in her garden. I will miss walking in and hearing her play the piano. My grandma was an amazing pianist. I love my grandma with all of my heart. It is my grandparents together who made my dad the man that he is. I am so lucky to have such an amazing father and I hope that I can be there for him. I can't even comprehend what he and his siblings are going through. Losing both parents in just a few short months is one of the most difficult things I can imagine. I love my family and am so grateful for each and every member of it.
I LOVE YOU GRANDMA GWENNIE!
