What a journey

What a journey I have been on the whole month of July..... First the loss of my grandma, I know I talked about her before, but she was such an amazing woman who I will miss. I will her her wisdom, her prayers, and her advice!

Grand-kids and Great-Grand kids placing roses on the casket

I will say I did have a wonderful time with both my cousins. I ALWAYS have to remind them that I'm the oldest grandchild and the ONLY girl, therefore I'm the favorite!!! Not really, but I like to tell them that!

It was so hard for me to see my dad so sad. I can't say I know what it is like to loose a mother, but I did not like to see him so sad. 






It was nice to see family from Ireland, and family I have not seen in a LONG time!

 My son also was able to sit in a Lamborghini. What 13 year old would not wast to sit in an amazing car!

 Oh and did I mention that when Grandpa fell asleep next to Kaiden, he decided to take pictures of it?

Well, I am feeling blessed to have such an amazing family!

Passing of my Gandma

I want to take a moment to say how blessed I am to have had such an amazing Grandmother. I am the oldest grandchild and the ONLY granddaughter! I had a special bond with her. The week before she passed I was able to spend the whole week with her caring for her. It was such a special time for myself, and my kids. I will always cherish the last days I had with her. 

I am now creating her slideshow, and as soon as it is finished I will post it here. Going through all the pictures had brought back so many memories. Anyone who knew her was blessed. She may not be with us on earth, but she will always be in our hearts!

Love you grandma!
