Thank you for all of the thoughts, prayers, and warm wishes.
It's heartwarming to know that as signatures and pictures become familiar, we find the friends that we haven't yet met. Your kind words mean a great deal to me right now, as I find it hard to explain to anyone how I feel. I would normally call Gram and talk to her about it.
As I write this, I am making plans to go to the florist and order the spray and something from grandkids and great-grandkids. I'd like to get something simple from myself, just to signify her importance to me, but I don't want to be selfish. I'll see, when I get there.
I'm also going to the nursing home to pick up a few mementos to have at the funeral home; a card and candle that my cousin brought her a few months ago, some music that she especially enjoyed, and a poem that she shared with the other residents-which she wrote when she was 13.
I'll be back at work tomorrow and will clean out her room. The calling hours are Thursday and service is Friday. At least I'll have the weekend off.
Thanks so much again.
