It's taken me nearly two months to be able to write this entry without breaking down in tears. My grandma had to have open heart surgery and seemed to be doing really well immediately following the surgery. However, she passed away suddenly five days later. I obviously wasn't able to be in Grand Junction since I was very very pregnant, which made it even harder. I wanted to be able to grieve with my extended family, and hug my dad and his sisters. Death is always difficult, and although she "lived a good life" at 80 something years old, she will be sorely missed by many. Thankfully, my dad's family waited about a month to have her funeral, so at least we were able to go to that. It was nice to be able to see family that we hadn't seen in a long time, and share memories of my grandmother. And, everyone was able to meet Holden for the first time, so that was fun too. I wish my grandma would have been able to meet him here on earth, but God had other plans....
Here is my other grandma and grandpa meeting Holden for the first time:
After the funeral-my mom, aunt, sister, cousin, and my boys
My grandma would have loved to see us all together
My other grandma and Tiernan were having a dance party at her house. The other boys were too cool for school.
Jacob and Libby loved getting to hold Holden:
We will miss you dearly Grandma Pat! Although I know you are joyful in heaven, we mourn your presence here on earth. We look forward to being reunited one day!
