The second trip- While I was in Aberdeen for Jr Miss I went to see my grandma. She was in an assisted living place because she had been sick and needed attention around the clock. Me and my two older sisters Angie and Bethanie went to dye her hair. She was so stinking funny. Even though she was in pain she was just like herself. We were trying so hard not to laugh at her when she thought she saw a ghost in the beauty parlor. We dyed her hair it's usual shade of reddish orange and did a pretty good job although it was a tad more blond than usual - just leave it to us to botch up her last hair job-. We got to visit with her for 3 hours. It was really great to see her so well. Two days later we decided to take our kids over to see her and she was horrible. She did not really know who we were and she did not want the company. We stayed for only 10 min. and then we left. Three days later she died. So I made it down to Aberdeen to help with anything that I could. Dad was the executor of her will and now is his busiest time and Mom had to do a lot of stuff to help also but she had just started her first online class and I knew she was feeling overwhelmed already, so I figured that anything I could do to help would be appreciated. The funeral went well and while I am very sad to have her gone I am really happy that she is free from pain and with Grandpa again.
So between those two trips our lives have been really exciting and busy but the boys would not complain they have been getting in a lot of cousin time. I will be getting some pics from the funeral from my brother and will post them as soon as I can.
