Elah is doing great, shes growing more, and more each day and it seems like over night she learns something new. Just recently Sarah and I was playing in the floor with Elah when she reached for Sarah, grab a hold of her pants, and pulled herself up to standing. We were both shocked lol. I swear she is just gonna skip crawling all together and go straight to walking.
She still hasn't got any teeth yet, but we can defiantly tell they are coming. At night she has been pretty fussy and we think that might be cause of it.
Now for the not so good things....
This past Sunday, my grandma passed away. My family knew that it was coming so we had, well at least tried to prepare ourselves for it the best that we could, but we didn't think it would be this soon.
The past few months she has been in and out of the hospital, and highland farms( retirement home) because she kept getting pneumonia. Well this last time she went to the hospital, it didn't look good, then like all the other times she perked up and was doing pretty good. so they moved her back to highland farms to stay awhile to build her strength back up before she came home. She was there for at least two weeks this time and we all thought she was doing really good. Then last Friday my dad told me her kidneys wasn't working.
I went to work last weekend like I always do, made it through Saturday and had went to bed early so I could go in Sunday. Only that night around 1:05am or so, my brother called. I knew something had to be wrong because, no one calls us in the middle of the night unless something is. He said that highland farms had just called and said she passed away sometime in her sleep that night. Like I said, we were prepared for it but no matter how much you prepare for it you still are not.
I went to my parents right after I got of the phone. The one thing I was worried about was how my dad was doing.
I ended up getting someone to work for me that day and the next so I could stay with my parents. Monday they had the family visitation at the funeral home and I went but when it came time to go in and see her, I just couldn't do it.
Tuesday we went to the funeral and the preacher did a great job, it was a really good service. I was hoping it was a closed casket service but it wasn't. I gotta say it was hard seeing her. It just wasn't her.
Later durning the service me and my brother was talking and he told me " you know it doesn't feel like that's her up there. I keep waiting for her to sit up and start talking to all of us like always". I told him I thought the same thing. Later that day after everything was over I went up to the cemetery where we buried her. It was then while I was standing over her grave that I realised she was really gone. I stayed there for a few minutes and then I said bye Maw Maw, I love you and left.
Since then it has gotten easier for me. But I worry about my dad when they get back from vacation( After the funeral they said they needed to get away for a while) I know she is in heaven with her loved ones that have already past and most of all she is with God. I know one day we will see her again though.
