So anyway, my mom always told me it's not just a birthday but a birthday month! I like that. So it's been kind of busy lately, when is it not- right?, but I finally have a chance to post the pictures my mom took on my birthday!
Here's me and my sweet grandma! I had to go to work for 2 hours, only cause I had some training that I couldn't miss, then I got the rest of the night off. And off to grandma's I go. I love her so much... her nose is looking alot better....
Feeding grandma some ice-chips. She's not taking any more medications, and she's not eating anything.... this has been going on for a while now.... this is how she wants it to be. She keeps saying she wants to go to Heaven and she wants to see her mom. She tears up every time she talks about seeing her mom. We all love our moms so much....
My awesome cousin Laura came by, also, with a birthday card and CANDY! Thanks Laura! I also got a text from her son, Kyle, wishing me a happy birthday.... Kyle's the greatest!
This was pretty cool, too, I didn't ask the kids to make me a cake cause we've just been so busy and just not enough time. But secretly I was thinking... I didn't get any cake on my birthday (ya I'm a big baby people- birthdays are special to me). And then my mom pulls out some hostess cupcakes with rainbow candles! Awesome! I'm getting some cake after all on my birthday! Thanks mom it was perfect- just what I wanted- everyone should have cake on their birthday!
They all sang happy birthday to me. There's Jeromy, too. Grandma was also singing, and at the end she kept singing "Jesus love you". Soooo sweet. Hearing her little weak voice sing. I love her so much.
We were there today also. I don't know how she's maintaining the way she is... with no food or medications. She's under hospice care who have given the family some emergency meds in case she starts having any pain. Which is the other amazing thing, she has no pain. Nothing. God's having mercy on her in her last days on earth, but she is ready to go. I just know alot of us are just not ready to let her go...

She will be with Jesus, the God who created her, who knew her before she was even born. And my sweet little grandma will be strong and healthy again. No more aches or pains or tears.... I don't want her to go, but I have great peace knowing where she's going, and that I will see her again some day...

Beautiful, Katie!! Completely beautiful! I love our grandma so much!!
I am totally crying over Grandma I don't even know. She is precious. My heart aches for you and Laura...all of you. I will never forget when my last grandparent died...my Granny. I know it was heaven's gain, but it sure is hard to let go. I was there with her when she took her last breath. I had my eyes closed and we were all praying the Lord's prayer. I knew the moment her spirit lifted and departed the room. It was the most amazing experience of my existence. I was so overwhelmed with love and peace and joy for her, but I miss her more than I can say. It will be sweet to see her again. I am praying for you girls.
