Ahhhhh! She lives! So it ain't so!! :)
Yes, i am posting a current newsy post. I have been pretty absent as of late. well, let's see, after the whole whirlwind that was Amy and Rick, they settled into a pseudo-honeymoon, living in an apartment my brother rents out. Meanwhile, they packed up Amy's things from Mom and Dad's and bought silly things, like printers and potatoes, because they had so much room in the little car to transport all the silly things to Virginia. :D They eventually left us, we almost kept them here, with the "Driveway of Doom" aka, my parents driveway. You must have a Vermont Winter worthy car to navigate the thing from December to April, otherwise, it'll be somewhat hazardous! :)
Back in November, i think? It was after Thanksgiving, My Nana, who lives with Mom and Dad, was diagnosed with Cancer. It was found in her lymph nodes, and it was determined to be terminal from the get go.
She went downhill pretty fast, and as they watched, they realized she wouold not live for many months. Shortly after Christmas, she had an emotional breakdown, after seeing my Aunt, realizing she wouldn't ever get to see her again. To which My Dad said, "You know Mom, There is a way you could see us all agian one day." And one more time, My Dad shared the Gospel with her, and this time, she got it, and accepted it, and was a different woman! My Nana, was out telling everyone she was going to heaven, she had met Jesus, she was going to see Him, she wasn't afraid of dying. It was pretty amazing!
Well,the first sunday Amy wasn't in church, Nana was pretty sick. The next day, she was admitted in the hospital for Horrific pain, and the Doctor told my Mom that Nana would not be going home this time :( SHe hadn't wanted any "help" in the end, no breathing help, or anything, just to go as peaceful as possible. So, Mom started calling people, Matt and Visited with her as she sat in the room with Nana. She wasn't really aware of anything, they had her on such high doses of meds that she was just sleeping pretty much. Wednesday, we were all iced in at our homes, and Mom got the call from the nurses that Nana had passed in her sleep. It was relief, that she finally got to see Jesus, and that she was happy, REALLY happy, and no more pain, and in eternal gardens, walking with Jesus. :) But it hurts, alot, Lots of good memories bubble up as you realize this person will not be here anymore, and it's all you have are those memories.
So, I went and helped Mom clean out the room Nana stayed in, they found a happy home for Nana's little doggie. In the spring, Mom will bury her remains in a little plot by the house, and then we will all get together and plant a glorious flower patch, just the kind that Nana would have wanted. As mom put it, "we will plant an obnoxious amount of daffodils!" heehee that will be a fun thing to remember her by, and beautiful thing for Mom to look at all summer as she misses her mom in the growing season. That woman had a knack for growing things, she will be missed!
This whole thing, along with normal business, sickness, weather, and my emotional stability *lol* have been what has kept me from my blogies, and my online contacts.
We are getting back into a grove now, I turned #31 on the 18th, My hubby ordered me a sewing mchine that i'm anxiously awaiting! Also season #1 of "Gilmore Girls" on DVD W00t!!
I miss my seester, but, i got her fuzzy BOOTS! :) and her yarn, which is happiness :)
So, Hello to y'all, sorry for the long post, but, as Bill Nye would say...
"Noooow Youuuuu Knoooooow!" : D heh
