Default Re: Not the greatest way to end the week...

Thank you all for the additional prayers and condolences. She was what one would consider a "Godly woman", always carrying a hymn in her heart and spreading the good word.

And cruzin, you're absolutely right: my father is struggling the most in this, and rightfully so. I am making it top-priority to be there for him in this time.

Erzer -- Good idea on the plant. At my condominium, they're pretty strict on what can be planted out front. But at the very least, I might buy the plant and send it to my parents. My mom has thumbs that are equally as green as my grandmother's, and she would no doubt enjoy the sentiment.

+fireamx -- I think that's what I'm struggling with the most, is the absence of closure in the traditional sense. I saw her at a family reunion at Christmas, and she still had a hug that would break you in half. But, the silver lining is that she didn't suffer in a hospital for months, like my grandfather (her husband). So... there's peace in that.

To everyone else, thank you immensely for the prayers. It means a great deal to me.
