I lost my newest Grandbaby today. She was only at 6 weeks, but stopped growing and is presumed to have expired. I was worried about this one from the start. All my grandbabies were conceived via IVF (GMOs in food, microplastics, etc. we guess) and she was just transferred a few weeks ago. My daughter is 37, works fulltime, has an 18-month-old, and is now caring for my son-in-law's mother who is on tube feeds. I kept crying all weekend and could not put my finger on the source of my grief. For once, it wasn't Troy, Sherrie, Adrienne, or my beloved dog Ruby. I felt them all sending me signs of support. I blamed it on old lady loneliness and homesickness for AZ but when I oddly saw my neighbor through the window, early Sunday morning, reflexively genuflect when some tree dew touched his head, I felt that someone would be going to God soon. I had already ordered a baby blanket from a woman in the UK who knits beautiful blankets as a way to support her senior dog rescue. I let myself get carried away and also spontaneously bought some pink booties yesterday. I sent a pic of the blanket to my other daughter, and she called with the news. I had come so close to sending it to Kelly, actually clicking on Sara. I thank God that happened. It would have been right as Kelly was hearing the sad news. I will light a candle near the booties tonight. My granddaughter is with all her heavenly Aunties, Uncles, faithful dogs and her Great Grandparents. They will take good care of her until I meet her on the other side.
Nancy I am so sorry! The pain you are all experiencing right now is awful. You, like me, are very aware of what's happening around you and a bigger picture than just the moment. The booties will be a reminder of her, the love she would have experienced here, but is already surrounded with for eternity.
We just returned home from a 10 day Alaskan cruise. It was wonderful and restful. All 7 of our kids and spent this week with us, all together in one place at the same time.No spouses or any of the 23 grandkids! They came from Scotland, California,Texas, Arizona and three from Utah.
On a day trip we say a big blue heron on a log in a shalllow bay! I thought if you. As soon as I got home, my sister called and said my nearly 90 year sister ( who had been in rapid decline ) for about a month, passed away this evening, peacefully. I am sad to lose a sister that lives by me but not wanting her to be here in this physical pain and mental state. I rejoice in the wonderful reunion she is having with our brother ,parents and generations of love ones.
Hi Jane. I'm glad you all had a great time. Did anybody figure out when the last time would have been that it was all of your original family and nobody else? My condolences to the passing of your sister but rejoice in her reunion as well. Thanks SIL.
