GOODBYE GRANDMA
19

Apr 29,2008 / CATEGORY: PERSONAL

Well today I’m not having a good day, and this post is going to be a very sad one for me and my family. Last night my only grandma has passed away at age of 82. She had a very tough time in the last years and spend the last month in a hospital. I feel like a very bad person for not visiting her more often. 16 years have passed since the last time I went to see her. It is not easy for me to cope with this after my grandfather (her husband) passed away in 1997 and where I felt the same way. I don’t even know how time has passed, I guess life is flying by and I never took the time to stop and visit my grandma.

I remember growing up with my grandparents as my parents were still in school, she was like a mother to me and I spend much time with her as a kid. I don’t remember my grandparents from my dad’s side as they have passed away way too soon and I was too little to remember.

Today all my thoughts are with her and her family even if she can not hear my voice, I know she is in a better place where she is not suffering any longer, a place that is ageless.

I wish I could be at the funeral to say my last goodbye’s. I will forever remember her as she was when I last saw her, happy, smiling waving goodbye and blowing kisses. Rest in peace grandma.

I don't know you but love your work. Also, loved my grandmother to death. She took care of me when my mother left Cuba and I could have not wished for a better Mom. Sorry about your lost. Make sure that you remember the good and bad times together and pray for her everyday. (April 30th, 2008 9:31 PM)

Stephan...Candace...yor Grandmother lives in your thoughts...those of her children and grandchildren that she loved very much...at every wedding extend your hand to the Bride's/Groom's grandmother...get them close and create a cherished memory that the B/G will hold dear to their heart for generations to come...and think of your Grandmother...she lives in you. Peace. (April 29th, 2008 10:09 PM)
Michelle & Steve:
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my grandmother early December and the thought of not having her at me wedding was devastating. It took some time to realize that she would always be with me, through memories, everything she taught me and who she helped me become. The dedication of flowers to Mary The Virgin Mother at our wedding was in honor of her and her sisters (2 passed away last year and one in January) as well Steve's grandmother. We know they will always watch over us like your grandmother will watch over you with pride and happiness. You and your family are in our prayers. (April 29th, 2008 10:00 PM)

Marisol:
I am sorry for your loss. Grandma's are very special, and losing them is not easy. She is indeed in a beautiful place right now. Hugs to you! (April 29th, 2008 7:03 PM)
Alex Rodriguez:
Sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Alex (April 29th, 2008 6:54 PM)
Kristel:
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I'm very close to my grandmother, after all, we have lived together just the two of us for the past five years or so. I love her dearly and it's gonna hurt when Alex and I move away after the wedding. My other grandma is in Nicaragua. I just visited her last March when I heard she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. That's another amazing woman...always smiling and full of life...even when lying in a hospital bed. Grandmas are special people, huh? (April 29th, 2008 4:48 PM)
Dania:
I am so sorry for your loss. It is a difficult time for you and your family but as you mentioned, a more beautiful and better place for your Grandmother. I believe she hears you and knows how much you truly love her. That is what matters. I do not presume to know your Grandmother's thoughts but she is probably so proud of you and all the joy you bring to others through your extraordinary talent of capturing their most special and scared moments. Love lives forever in our hearts and minds. I hope you find some comfort in the days and years to come. Lovely photograph of your Grandma. I am finally no longer a silent admirer of your and your wife's work... (April 29th, 2008 4:35 PM)
