At the end of the day, I sit and contemplate all of today's happenings. So far, I cannot even remember what time I actually sat to do this. I have heard lots of "mom", "tuck me in" and the infamous, "stop". I feel like my head is actually going to just shut down.
As my head slowly comes into the light and out of the clouds I remember something that stands out like nothing else today.
I remember sitting and thinking that I have no more grandparents alive and with me. I have only the fond memories of growing up thinking that my life will always be what it is, full of family, laughter and loud voices in the dining room at my grandparents house celebrating anything that we could.
I was fortunate enough that I had two sets of terrific grandparents that I both remember and loved, however I was closer with my maternal grandparents. They were what I thought at the time, the epitome of family. They did what they could, when they could and however they could, to make sure that we were all taken care of and had what we wanted! They both loved and respected us all even into adulthood. I was with the both of them until the very end and even in death they taught me something! Love unconditionally with all your heart and never give up at what you want or desire.
With that, it is my desire to blog daily about what happens when our head comes Out of the Clouds and into reality.
