Wilbur, my grandmother's boyfriend, passed away yesterday morning. We were all very worried for my grandmother--and she seemed to be taking it hard--but we went to see her in the evening. She was doing much, much better. I think we were all worried that she would have an emotional breakdown over it and not adjust well; however, she seems to be mourning in a healthy way.
Here is one of my favorite photos of Wilbur. I like it so much because he didn't realize it was being taken. This is from Christmas 2008--four years ago--when my nephew (Matthew) was a little over a year old. Even though these weren't technically his great grandchildren, he never treated them any differently.
I'm so sorry Katie. I dealt with the loss of a very close friend when I was 8 months pregnant with Landon. Death is not easy to deal with, especially with the extra hormones! I'm praying for your Grandma and for your strength FOR her.
ReplyDeletePS - you totally need to get an Ergo for baby #2! Best thing ever!
Thanks for the encouragement! Memaw is doing OK with lots of family around her and the support of a great assisted living community. As for the Ergo, it is taking a lot of willpower not to buy one right now and strap Eliot in to keep him in line in stores. Chris says he's too old for that, but I don't knowww. ;)
