Grandma….you would have been married 67 years today. I miss you.
Last week was a trying week for our family. My sisters and I lost both of our Grandmas within days of each other. Last week was filled with family sharing memories. It was fun to get together with everyone, sad because of the reason. Here are some pictures from one night when all of the cousins from my Dad’s Mom’s side got together to share memories.
Kate started bathing in the big tub.
I think she liked it.
I found this on Erica’s blog…..go give her some love as well.
The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this–the last battle–can’t be won.
You will be sad I understand,
Don’t let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears
You’d not want me to suffer, so.
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they’ll tend,
Only, stay with me til the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
it is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don’t grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We’ve been so close–we two–these years,
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
