So the name has a double entrede this week. My grandmother is now home with Jesus. It has been a long and emotionally tiring week. On Monday at 12:02 she finally breathed her last breath and went peacefully home to Glory. As much as I miss her, I am so glad that she is in Heaven and resting peacefully, no longer suffering. This week we have literally been "On Eagle's Wings" as we have been lifted up in prayer by people we didn't even know, recieved lots of thoughts and prayers, and the presence of many people to support us during our loss. We rejoice that she is in the presence of our Savior and that she suffers from pain no more. We will be eternally grateful to the nurses at the Hospice and to the friends and family who have been there for us.
We came home today. My mom was doing better than expected so we decided to come home. Trying to get at least a sense of normalcy back, but my body is still in decompress mode so we didn't do much today. It's taking all I have to even cook supper. Tomorrow I have to go get my classroom started and eventually done... so back to life it is. Hopefully this weekend we can get the application finished, as painful as it will be since I know that my grandmother will never see my child. It really hurts after trying for 2 years and nothing and now I know she will never meet them on this earth. But I also know she would be so excited for us and that life must continue on. So we will proceed. And my child will hear all types of stories about their precious great grandmother.
