Bittersweet

Today has been a whirlwind of emotions.

March 26th is "Make Up Your Own Holiday Day"

I had said that if Jason's scans came back clear today (which they did!!!!!!!), then today our holiday would be about that... Jason Day!!

But...

this morning while we were sitting in the doctor's office waiting to see the doctor, I got a call from my dad that my grandma (mom's mom) had passed away.

I don't want to take away from the great news we got today at the doc's...

but for the blog today, I want to celebrate my grandma.

79 years young, she has lived for the last few years in an assisted living facility, where she referred to everyone else there as "those old people." SHE was never old. One of the classiest women I knew... just last week she found a yellow bag that she just had to have and then needed shoes to match.

The last time I got to spend any time with her was a few years ago for Audrey's 1st birthday. Grandma ordered a cake from the grocery store there where she lived in Hurst, TX and the icing was SOOOO pink, that Audrey pooped pink for three days. It was such a fun visit... and the only pictures I have of my kids with their great grandma.





and the last picture I have taken of me with my grandma



This picture was taken in grandma's backyard in Texas before she sold her house:



Mom told me today that the last thing they talked about last night was Jason. I wish I could have called her today to tell her that his scans came back clear.

Grandma,
Jason beat the cancer!! I wish I could have called you today to tell you the good news. I know you would have been so relieved to hear it. But somehow... I think you still know.
I'm glad you're not sick anymore, and I hope you are having a great time up there with grandpa! But I will miss you every day. Tell grandpa I said hi.
I Love You!
Becky

*** HEAD'S UP!!! ***

Tomorrow is Education and Sharing Day, Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day, and Viagra Day (hey... to each their own)

If you celebrate Viagra Day... please don't tell me about it! =)

But... I would love for everyone to leave a comment with the Quirkiest Country Music Song Title you can think of.
