Saying So Long...

I'm not really sure what to write. I'm just wanting to talk I guess. My only living grandparent, Mawmaw, is basically on her death bed right now. That sounds so awful, but how else do you put it? She is 93 years old and it seems that her body is just shutting down now. She is in CCU and not responding to things. I basically went to say good bye yesterday. I really said "see you later" because I know I will see her later in Heaven.

At church this morning as we were singing about worshiping God I got teary eyed. I was really kind of jealous as I thought about how Mawmaw would be in His presence so soon and able to dance and sing before Him. She has lived a long life and was very healthy until about 3 years ago and things started to slowly go down. She is the oldest and last one living of her siblings. She is the only one from her generation in the family now and I know she was feeling lonely.

I pray that this all passes smoothly as she transitions and that our lives here go on glorifying God for lending her to us for so long. I have so many memories of Mawmaw flooding back this week and I'm a little sad that Taylor won't know her as well. He likes talking to her even though she can't hear him to understand a word he says. But I know she liked that he just wanted to talk to her at all on the phone.

Here is the most recent photo I could find on this computer of her. I know there are some better more recent but they are on Wes' computer. This was from Christmas 2006 I think. That's my mom aka Granny holding Taylor sitting next to Mawmaw on the couch. Ironically when Taylor was born, the first time I saw him I thought he looked like Mawmaw. Go figure. It may have been the drugs I was on, but maybe there is some family resemblance. :)
