Realizing it's true.


I was just on the Grandma's blog and I was reading about and essay Michael had wrote about when he found out that Grandma passed away. It made me think about her a lot and it made me think about this. It has seemed like this whole time grandma has just been on a long trip. But now I am starting to realize that she really is gone. All of us had a lot of fun with her. I remember that I had been at my dad's house for the weekend and my dad had told me that I couldn't stay longer at his house. I asked him why and he said because my mom had something really important to tell me. Once I got home Quinn opened up the door saying that we wouldn't believe who was here. Now my mom had told me that my Aunt Emily was going to come to surprise me Teagen and Michael. So I said to Quinn "I know who it is". But then I walked into the family room and saw my aunt Jen and Kim crying. They told me that my grandma had passed away. I couldn't believe it. The next day when I had to go to school I didn't go because I was just so sad. I spent most of the day crying in my room. For about a week and a half I would cry just at the thought of her. I will always miss Grandma Toombs. It is going to be really different without her at the family reunion. I will always have my memories of grandma in my heart. I love her so much.

I still cry too Kayla. It does just feel like she is on a very long trip. I hope she is walking the beach where ever she is!
I love you. Crying for her is good. It just shows how much you loved her.
Love you so much!!!!

I love you so much Makayla. I'm glad you wrote this. Grandma had such a special place in her heart for you. She loved you more than you will ever understand. She loved when you would come over and spend the night. Even if she would go to bed early, she liked knowing that you were there to keep her company when we woke up. I'm so glad we got to hang out while I was there. I'm always here for you!
