My Grandma passed away a couple weeks ago. Before anyone gets all teary-eyed, it was a blessing. She'd lived a long, full life and it was her time to go. Her body was shutting down and it was a great relief to not see her struggling anymore. She's off to a much better place to be with my Grandpa and other family members. For the past couple of years she had been staying with my parents so they could watch over her and take care of her, instead of paying outrageous assisted living expenses. While Ness still had to work, my mom would watch Mathias three times a week, which meant Grandma watched him too. Those two were so funny together. No one could get Mathias to laugh the way Grandma could, and no one could get Grandma to light up and respond the way Mathias could. Below are some pictures of them together. We were grateful that we could get some of these before Grandma passed. Even though Mathias won't remember these days when he's older, he'll have picture of them together. And please disregard Grandma's hair in the later pictures, she couldn't get out to a stylist much!
