No Good, Bad Day.

My Grandma Riding passed away today. She found out on Monday that she had some aneurysms that could burst at anytime. She was in a lot of pain and I am glad that she didn't have to suffer for very long. I am going to miss her so so much. We grew up a block away and spent almost as much time at her house as we did our own. My Grandma was the best and was always so glad to see us. I am so thankful for the chance I had to spend time with her over this past weekend and that I got to talk to her yesterday and tell her that I loved her. My Grandpa is going to be lost without her. He says he wished the Lord would take him with her but I don't think I could take losing them both so close together. He is going to have to have his other leg amputated from the knee down after the first of the year. Who knows how he is going to make it through that surgery. So needless to say this has been a very rough day. Her funeral is next Wed on Dec. 6th, the day of their 60th wedding anniversary.

  1. Thinking of you and your family. Wednesday is the 9th, isn't it? My grandpa died on the 4th of July, and I've always thought he did that on purpose.

  7. I remember paying dress up at your grandmas house and borrowing a basket so we could have a real picnic. I never knew my Grandmas thanks for sharing yours
