California treating you okay? Sorry to hear about your grandma. Mine just had back surgery and we got a good scare when her fever spiked and she was... not well. I got worried, but then figured, "Hey, it's my grandma. The lady is made of friggin titanium!" Anyway, I don't think I've ever met her before, but I'll pray for you guys down there. Tell your mommy hey, too. Maybe when you get back from cali, we could drag a wad of friends out to do something...? See ya erin. Air-Wren,

And even if stuff goes well and is relatively peaceful, death and dying are always things that on their own are serious and scary, even if you know they're coming. So I won't tell you that eveything is peaches and cream, because it won't always be. It will be hard and scary, but you know what? It will be okay, and I know you know that. What a blessing it is to know that you are a strong and brave little red-headed girl who is finding strength in the most steadfast source of it - in the One who is a solid and immovable foundation for all those who hope and lean on Him. My prayers will be with you, you will find blessings in this time amidst the hardships :-) Hey there babe,

I really appreciate your kind words. We arrived safely in California last night and right now I am at my Aunt's house. I only saw Grandma briefly last night but so far it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. She was genuinely glad to see Mom and I, I think, so that made our trip worthwhile. :) Even though this trip is for kind of a sad reason, I think that we will have some fun, too. Today my uncle (a big photography buff) is arriving and we're probably going to go shoot some pictures. So that should be fun. Thank you both very much. I really appreciate your kind words.

I got the call a few weeks before my daughter was born and it was one of the hardest things for me to go through because I knew I couldn't even go to his funeral. I know your fear because I felt it every time I went to see him in those last years. He was so frail and you just knew each time could be the last. I half expected him to go right there in front of me... incredibly terrifying. In the end, I wish I had spent more time with him. You have a wonderful opportunity here, not only to support your grandmother, but your mother as well. That's a lot on your shoulders, I know. I'll pray for peace - and for laughter - for all of you.
