well as of yet the funeral hasnt happend, but the trip hasnt lacked emotion and/or its own excitment. its cool to realize just how incredible of a life my grandmother lived. single for the last 30ish years of her life, 6 kids, 27 grandkids, 35 great grandkids and 1 great great grandchild. less than a week short of her 93rd birhday, died just the way she asked God to let her, in her sleep after a perfect day, and still with a heart full of love for everyone. such an increadble woman. lived on her own even after becoming blind. when the doctor called to let us now she passed he said "she must have lived a beautiful life, because she died a beautiful death." and you know what she really did live a beautiful life. She raised 6 wonderful children and touched not only her 27 grandchidrens lives, but als the lives of her 35 great grandchildren given them so much love, so much love. the only prayer i remember her praying was "father, give food to the hungery, and to those who have give hunger of thee." she talked in her last days about the days before her husband died, an the love they shared, (and where they shared it) and all the things she loved in life and fulfilling her greatest dream of going to the holy landuch an amazing woman, touch not nly the lives of her family, but the lives of everyone around her, everyone in so many ways she was who i want to be. she will be greatly missed. but now she is in a new place, it has been said that death is not he end but only the beginning of the greatest journy of all, and now she is on that journey, well equipped with more than enough of the greatest of all, love, ready to praise her Father and be reunited with her true love. so amazing
