My own mom passed away after a lengthy battle with a terminal illness, and I too, put my life "on hold" for over a year to care for her. I never regretted a moment that I spent with her, and in hindsight, wouldn't change a thing. Clearly, you and your daughter share a deep bond and there's nowhere else she'd rather be right now. As a daughter whose own mother invested so much into my life and loved me unconditionally, it was a privilege to give back to her during her illness. Undoubtedly, these are hard, yet precious moments. May God bless you both as you walk this road together. Thank you for sharing your story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249883794832001602.post-38270900034883998132013-11-25T22:07:01.371-08:002013-11-25T22:07:01.371-08:00Sandy - I just watched and listened to your story....Sandy - I just watched and listened to your story.

No, YOU have touched so many, and i hope that your daughter can hold on to these memories you are creating with her and bring them out when needed. This post made me cry, as i remember that day, how frustrated i was that i had to haul all the kids up, and "please don't touch" and "leave the cat". I remember walking away, feeling so much more peaceful, and talking to Emma and Evan (who i don't think you met - he was playing with the cat) about why we made meals, and Emmas words: "well, she's our friend!"

I know we haven't connected in a very ...Sandy,<br /><br />I know we haven't connected in a very long time, but please know that I think of you and Suzanna often have been following your blog from time to time, and absolutely had to write upon reading your latest entry... I will let you be boastful, but will not let you sell yourself short! What do you mean you "would have" made one very loving and kickass fun grandmother? Being physically around to do things with your granddaughter is just one aspect of the whole assignment... and yes, by having Suzanna, you have signed up for this and there's no going back.... (I am going to use "granddaughter" in a gender-neutral sense, though I do picture Suzanna one day having a lovely little girl...) You will be the grandmother who has shared so many fun and special things with Suzanna as mother-and-daughter, who will in turn share these fun (and probably even kickass!) activities with her child. You will be the grandmother-artist who created so many stunning photographs - just picture Suzanna sharing your collection with her child -- maybe an extra-special photograph on each birthday! You will be the stunningly beautiful grandmother in the photographs, who your granddaughter will no doubt share a resemblance with. You will be the grandmother who inspired all the people that Suzanna will want to introduce her child to, and whom her child will one day meet and touch with her charm and innocence. You will be the grandmother who passes along a hug when Suzanna gives her child an extra squeeze from you -- and for you -- at night. You will be the grandmother who leaves a legacy of kindness, compassion, love and perspective that Suzanna will draw upon daily and pass along to her child from you. You will be the grandmother smiling proudly through Suzanna's eyes at so many milestones. So go ahead, Sandy, and choose and use your grandmother name (will it be Grandma Sandy?) -- because your grandmother name, reflecting you, will be referred to by and thought of by Suzanna and her child, and her child's child, thousands of times over the next hundred years and more. I write this not to make you feel sad, but to make you feel so very happy for being such a wonderful, loving and inspiring grandmother who will make such a remarkable difference in your granddaughter's life. There are so many women who might live to one hundred and five, and never be a grandmother. So dream, Sandy, and dream big -- right now, and always -- about all those wonderful grandmother and grandmother-inspired things that your daughter and her child will experience only because Grandma Sandy gave the greatest gifts of all to Suzanna -- life and love.<br /><br />C.C.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
