This is a picture of my only living grandparent. The other one is of my parents, myself and my dad's parents. My dad's father passed away November 4th, 2006. It is so crazy because every year my aunt would make my grandparents an Anniv. cake, (their anniv. was on Nov. 4th) and they would always get their pictures taken with it on that day, Nov. 4th. Well, in 2006, my grandma was in a nursing home, so they had celebrated on Nov. 3rd, so the picture was taken on Nov. 3rd, but the cake still said Nov. 4, 2006. It just happened that my grandfather passed away that next day, on their 64th wedding anniv. How crazy and sad is that?
Anyway, growing up I had 8 cousins on my dad's side of the family and we spend EVERY Christmas Eve together. I miss those days. Now its just my grandma and we never get to spend the holidays with her. It makes me sad.
I am sharing these pictures because I think they are really good of them, my grandma was actually smiling. I know my grandfather will be there with her this Christmas.
I love that picture of your grandmother. When we were moving I found one of my grandmother (my daughter's namesake) and it made me smile, because it had been so long since I'd seen her that happy. I have only one grandparent left too, and when it's his time to go, there will be a huge hole left in my heart.
