Grandma Dorothy

I love snow days! What more could I ask for than to spend it with my mom and the girls? My mom has helped me out so much this week, we would not have survived without her. It has been crazy. Yesterday, Grandma Dorothy passed away. We knew it was coming, she has been in the Lutheran Home for 4 years with Alzheimers. She is in such a better place now, we are kinda rejoicing for her that she no longer has to spend her days in a nursing home. Even though technically, she is Scott's grandma, she was just as much MY grandma. I loved her more than I could even say. I never had the chance to have a grandma around when I was growing up, so she was my chance to experience having a grandma. I have so many great memories of her, she was such a fun person to be around and she left me with quite a few stories to chuckle over. She always loved rocking Megan when Megan was a baby and without fail would always put her diapers on backwards. We always knew when Grandma had changed the diaper. I know that when I think of her, I don't think about the last 4 years. I think of how funny she was and just how much FUN she was. The funeral is Monday morning at St. Vincent's then, at her request, she is being taken to California, MO (up by Jeff City) to be buried. Emily and I are going to stay home, but everyone else is going. Right now I am trying to find someone who can watch Emily during the visitation on Sunday, it is the SuperBowl so most people are probably busy, I do not plan on taking Emily to the funeral home, she is just too young for that.
Anyway, I am feeling good, just really tired. Oh and I can't feel my feet. Completely numb. I hope it eventually comes back, I can't imagine doing the Chemo shuffle the rest of my life!
Keep in touch,
Michele;
