Independence Day

A few weeks ago I wrote about my grandmother, who was dying.

She is now free, as of 12:30 this afternoon on July 4.  She took a nap after breakfast, and now rests peacefully.

I told my kids that it is a rarity to know a great grandparent, even moreso to grow taller than she.  They were lucky to know her as well as they did, as were the rest of us.

Johnny,

Sorry to hear about your loss. The great thing is that your children did get to know her and will always remember those experiences though out their lives.
