The day before Travis was flying out to see us, my mom informed me my Grandma had fallen and broken her hip. Grandma's health has been declining for the last few years, so I knew she was going to take it hard. I also know my Grandma is one of the strongest women I know. I really didn't think much of it. Travis flew in on Friday, and mom called to let me know Grandma wasn't doing well. Honestly, I still didn't think much of it. It was when I started seeing messages from cousins and aunts that were driving to see Grandma I knew something wasn't right. Within a few hours after that my Grandma passed. I could not believe it. Complete and total shock is all I felt.
So, after 10 days without my husband, we had to decide what we were going to do. I had to fly out from Nashville to Kansas City for the funeral, but we had no idea when that was going to be. We decided he would fly back to Dallas, and I would take AB with me. We got one night and a fully day with Daddy, and then we all flew our different directions. Hardest thing ever!
My Aunt and cousin were able to pick us up from the airport, and drive us to Grandma's on Lake of the Ozarks. It's one of my most favorite places to go. It was a sad, hard time, but it was great to reconnect with so many family members I hadn't seen in so long.
My Grandma is an amazing women, with an amazing story. She fought and overcame so much. She provided for and raised 6 children on her own. She loved the Lord, and loved her family. I know she is pain free walking with her Heavenly Father, looking down on us all. I am beyond grateful for you, and so glad you got to meet my sweet baby. I miss you Grandma. Love you forever...like you for always...
