Goodbye for Now

My sweet Grandma passed away yesterday.  When I got the news I had a good long cry, talked with my husband and my sister, and spent the rest of the evening thinking about all the good times I shared with her.
She was such a good woman and I learned so many things from her simply by observing how she lived her life. 
She had been deteriorating slowly over the past few years and it was sad to see her lose her memories and her independence.  But I will never forget the last time I saw her.  In July we were on our way to Utah.  We stopped in Ontario to visit with Grandma at her nursing home.  When we walked in, she got the biggest smile on her face and she didn't stop smiling the whole time we were there.  Sure, she asked the the same questions over and over, and she didn't call us by name.  But she knew we were family and that we loved her.  And we felt her love for us.  It was a very sweet visit and I'm so grateful that is my last memory of her.  Goodbye for now Grandma.  I love you so much and can't wait to see you again.
