My grandma died on September 29, 2007 at the age of 91, three months exactly short of her 92nd birthday. One of the best things I have ever done was to make sure that I spent as much time with her as possible before she passed away. Every week I went over to visit her and Grandpa, and when she got sick about seven weeks ago I did whatever I could to be there whenever I had a spare moment, and her last week while she was in the hospital, I was there with her any time I could be. Every conversation we had I was aware that it could be our last, so I made sure that we never left anything unspoken.

The last thing my Grandma said to me was how much she loves me and how wonderful I am. I was able to tell her I love her one last time and I am so grateful for all the time we had together before I lost my amazing Grandma.
