Last year at this time I lost someone very dear to me. My Grandma Lorraine was 80 years old and she was wonderful. She lived in Idaho and I regret not seeing her more before she died. I have been thinking about her lately and how much I wish she could see Asher. She came to visit us for her 80th Birthday in March of last year and we had a great time celebrating with her. At the time I was about 8 months pregnant with Lilia. She was really excited to have another great granddaughter. About a week after she came to visit we lost our sweet baby Lilia. I remember grandma being so concerned for me and she called at least once a week that next month. I became so close to her. We just would talk and she was such a great support. Last year when I attended her funeral I was comforted to know she was now able to take care of Lilia.
I wish you could have met my grandma. She taught me some of the greatest things. My favorite game growing up was a game called bug. All you needed to play was dice, a pen and paper. She knew how to make something out of anything. When she would visit, she would always bring us crafts and we loved it. She even helped me learn to make some of my favorite foods. She made the best enchiladas and these amazing dipped marshmallows. YUM! I miss her a lot. I wish my kids knew her the way I did. I am so happy I got this great picture of Aydan and her when she was here last. He knows her and loves her.

That is a great post. I am always thinking that I would like to take my family up to Pocatello just to go see some of the places that we would go when we would visit. Grandma was great, and now she can be with Grandpa which is what she probably wanted most.

Hard to believe it's been a year. It is strange not talking to her every week. I miss her a lot, but I know she is in a better. She really loved her kids, her grandkids, and her great grandkids.
Emily that was such a sweet post. What beautiful pictures of her - love the one of her holding Aydan! I'm glad you can think of her taking care of Lilia. It seems like eventually in this life you have a whole bunch of people up there waiting for you to come home. Maybe when there are more loved ones there then here it's time to go home.
Now I need to be mad at you though: WHAT THE HECK?! How long have you had this blog?! If it weren't for my little blog counter thingie I would have never found you! I love you and I'm glad I can see pictures of Asher and keep up with you now :)
