We have come to Southern CA for my Grandmother's funeral. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow when we have the viewing. I love being with my family but not under these circumstances. I do know that if Grandpa and Grandma were with us they would have such a great time with all the teasing and laughter that goes on. Losing Grandma makes me miss Grandpa.

I have made some amazingly good friends at my Mommy & Me group. Who knew a hospital would be the place that I would meet some pretty awesome ladies that I know I will be friends with for a very long time? They support they offer up, the advice and comfort they give are worth more than I thought was possible. I'm so grateful for these strong, beautiful women that have become a part of my life.

I find myself being stretched these days. I believe I'm being taught patience. Such a fun lesson to learn. Sometimes it seems at every turn I encounter a situation that requires me to stop and think. I will sure be glad when this lesson is over.

Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers over the next couple of days and we go through this sad process of letting beautiful, wonderful matriarch rest in peace.
