Sigh....sweet Grammie Suzie passed away on May 8, 2010 in Grants Pass, OR. She was an incredible 96 years old. I feel so fortunate to have made the journey on May 7th to visit with her one last time. She got to meet baby Jillian ( 5mos). She opened her eyes and blew kisses at her (gulp). We only had a couple minutes alone, but I will never forget stroking her gentle fingers, rubbing her swollen arm, whispering how much I love her/how happy she makes me in her ear and telling her how lovely life is because she is my Grammie. I am going to search for photos of Gram - this is all I could find on my current short search. You'll see her napping with Dad - I love this photo. I wrote the following at the airport waiting to depart. I don't know what the future holds, but I love the past I shared with this amazing woman. She is much loved and dearly missed - XOXO
It was sad to leave 235 Glen Dr. To me Grammie is sweet like chocolate. I miss the way she said my name - Airca. I miss her giggle and winks like we shared a secret. I am thankful she met my children. I am thankful I got to say I love you one last time. I still feel like a kid at Grammies sleeping in her bumblebee sheets. I wanted to take them with me. All things considered we are pretty lucky to have such a wonderful family!
