Gentle into that good night


My paternal grandmother passed away Saturday evening in her sleep; she had been deteriorating physically and mentally over the past year or so, but her health started to rapidly decline around Thanksgiving.  I'm just glad that she was able to meet her first great-grandchild and even hold him for a bit.  Sammy and I will be heading back to western Pennsylvania soon for the funeral, so blogging may be a bit sporadic this week.  Thanks for understanding.

    So sorry, what a special picture of the two of them that is, though. Take care, and get help with Sammy when you need it. ((hugs))
