Yesterday I had to say Ill see ya later to my grandmother. It was so bittersweet. Her visitation was one like youve never seen... no sad music and whispering, there was laughter, talking & smiles. I know she was smiling at that! the service... a few songs were played... I cried. Not because they were sad but because I could see her with her guitar singing & strumming along next to my uncle...thats the last time I saw her play. It was several years ago... I wish I would have savored it... stories told all throughout the last few days and even her ulogy spoke of a kind, loving woman who loved every one, unless she didnt. But she would have told you. :) her children always the forefront of her thoughts & actions. One of my favorite parts Don said was this... when any other person would have been going crazy with the chaos & kids. She just kept going never missing a beat. Always loving and caring for someone and making sure all felt welcome. I agree! She had momma bear syndrome for any & all she loved. I sure hope shes resting peacefully because she surly deserves it, but we already know...shes loving a child she never got to meet, playing music, smiling and laughing that one of a kind laugh. At 84.... she still had a packed house for her final event, family and friends gathered at the ranch ( much like the farm) for food and laughing. It was perfect! I did have a big ol melt down... when Mrs. Beasley was given to me and a smile ear to ear. I can only hope to leave 1/2 of that legacy.
