my dad called this morning. my grandma passed away early this morning. such a bittersweet passing. on the one hand, such sadness to think she is truly gone, but on the other, a passing filled with no pain/suffering but simply peace. the doctors were able to tap one lung on sunday, and the other on tuesday, which allowed her to breath more easily. they determined the cancer began in her ovaries and spread to her lungs. at least there is an answer to that question. my dad and his siblings were able to share a few days with their mom before she said good-bye. definitely a blessing. i am having some difficulty with the fact that i won't be able to attend her funeral and say good-bye as i am at the point in this pregnancy where flights just aren't allowed. i know she'd understand completely, but it is still doesn't sit well with me. i did have a nice visit with her on friday, so i do feel at peace with that part of things, but it is not the same as mourning with my entire family. i was thankfully able to do so during the passing of my other grandparents. all in all, another death is a hard pill to swallow regardless of the circumstances. the timing is never perfect. thanks for your thoughts and prayers. i know they mean alot to me as well as the rest of my family.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
