May is here again...this time in May brings memories...memories of "good~byes"....Today is 1 year~one whole entire year~ since my dear Grandma B flew home...her battle with cancer was over...we miss her sooo much but I know how happy she is...many times as we served drinks in Cancer Center there in Michigan I thought of Grandma...I lived 1 birthday with out Grandma's card,$5 & birthday call...I lived my 6 months in Ann Arbor without phone calls & faxes from Grandma. I know she would have wanted to here it all. I can here her saying "oh, oh!" if I would have told her a sad story from the hospital..& then her dear friends I met there in MI.."you're Grandma/Mother Ruth's granddaughter?"..She was so special to many of them...& getting a quick chat in with Grandpa's children & grandchildren that were visiting in MI & the feeling of family cuz of Grandma...We were each her most special...memories....
Tomorrow is 2 years since my 16 year old friend, Andrea, from the same community where Grandma lived also flew home after a life long but especially hard last 7 months battling problems with her hear...heart transplants, pacemaker, LVAD...We worked in CVC ( Cardiovascular Center) in MI also & I often thought of Andrea...in the medical library there where we worked they had a model LVAD....Somehow hospitals make you remember loved ones...
Now a week & a half ago...this May...Grandpa's 1 1/2 yr old great-granddaughter was tragically driven over & killed...so sad...more "good~byes" for some in May...
Now this weekend I'm going up to spend with friends, family & my other grandparents...& next school term I'll live close to them...so I'm gona soak up all the memories I can while I still have them here!
" Life is short...You never know which day will be your last so live each to the fullest!"
