This picture for some reason reminds me of my gram...probably because when I was a little girl she gave me an actual parasol...it was made of lace and really cute...Most of you probably will know by the time you read this but I'll tell anyways....my grandma Nancy passed away this morning...she was the perfect grandma and just an awesome woman....Whenever describing her I would say that she was the perfect cross between the grandma from Happy Gilmore and the little lady singer from the Wedding Singer...I've never heard her say anything bad about anyone...when I had guys break my hearts she always gave a rational view on it...and when my mom and I fought she was there to try and bring us back together...it always hurt her when my mom and I weren't getting along...Even people that were mean to her she was sweet to...she lost her only daughter, her first born, when her daughter was 22...She told me that she never thought she could ever feel a pain that bad again in her life...then she had a dream one night that she had lost one of her sons and she knew that that pain could come again and that she had to focus on who was around her now and keep them close...she practically raised me and in doing so was simply wonderful...she put up with my grandfather who was an alcoholic and verbally abusive to my mother and I...she somehow was able to overcompensate for that and I've never had anyone make me feel so loved...I easily love my grandma more then anyone in the world and I don't think I could ever possibly love someone more...I remember talking to her one time about death...and she was very comfortable about what lay ahead for her...she told me that everyone dies from one thing, their heart stops...It's so true...so today my gram's heart stopped...I can't even begin to describe how much I'll miss her....I know that a lot of people loved her and I don't see how they couldn't...The funeral will be on Friday and I'm already dreading going through the process...but I do have great friends that I know I can turn to...and that'll make it easier...as long as they can put up with my random crying :) On another note it's exam week and I should get going and do some homework because now with school being cancelled my whole schedule is screwed up in order for me to get home for all the happenings...I'll put up a better blog later...I just wanted to write this to let you all know what I'm going to be missing...

Carrie, I just want to tell you that I love you and if you need to talk or anything just give me a call!! Love Becca
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. *hugs*
I'm gonna miss Gramma Nance too Bear. Playing school with her ancient books and dress up with all her clothes, all the while trying to avoid OJ's card tricks...good times. I know someone who is going to miss her a ton too-Kiva! Maybe Kiva Fat Dog (and I don't care) will finally be able to shed some poundage. Okay, maybe not.
