OK All my dear friends...here it is....my grandma, God bless her, passed away this evening. She had a stroke this morning. My uncle, her son, had taken her to the bathroom and then, after placing her back in bed, he heard her scream. When he ran into the room she was yelling "Paul! My head is exploding!" She had a blood vessel brake in her brain, she went into a coma and passed this evening.
Some of you may remember that my mom, her daughter, passed away in October. It has been a tough few months for our family.
I, being a christian, KNOW for a fact where my mom and grandma are right now. I am grateful to have had my mom for 71 years and my grandma for 92 years. They were wonderful women. I am blessed that my Lord gave them many years of life and that I was able to enjoy a lot of time with them.
I have to face the facts, though, this CHRISTmas will be the first one that I, at 53 years of age, will not have the presence of a mom, a dad, or a grandparent at our home. It could be a tough one.
I will have my wife, son and dil, daughter and sil, step-d, nephew, brother and family, sister and family, friends and neighbors....and an ex-wife and family, joining us for CHRISTmas...
I am, although in sorrow, so BLESSED!
