We received a call today that we've been expecting for quite some time, but were still not ready to hear. Michael's Grandma passed away this afternoon.
Although she never really liked having her picture taken, I'm so glad we were able to steal a few shots of her with Grayson. He will now have to remember her through photos and the stories we tell him, but she will never be forgotten.
Grandmas are supposed to love their grandchildren, but this one's cup runneth over like nothing I've ever seen. She always wore a necklace with the birthstone of each of her "precious grandbabies" (and great-grandbabies), never holding back her pride when anyone asked about them.
She loved to sing to Grayson for hours and we'd often have to force her to hand him over so she would eat a meal, otherwise she was content going hungry just to hold him.
Her life was all about her family and now her family will celebrate the life and love of this strong, generous and compassionate woman.
