    Oh, Laura, what a wonderful story. I am so happy that you had that time with her. Her nickname for you is delightful and makes me smile. You must be so worried about your Grandpa and Mom. My heart goes out to you and your family. You've been in my thoughts constantly since the news. Big hug.

    How amazing that she was waiting for you and that you got to be with her. That is so wonderful, yet hard at the same time. It is also wonderful that she and your grandpa had such an amazing long life together. What a gift. Hugs to you and your family. So sorry for your loss.

    Hugs to you and prayers for your family. I bet she was waiting for you to get there. And I'm so glad that you were there with her at the end.

    I'm so sorry Laura. I know the loss of such a special grandma to you is ginormous and the hole left missing in your family by her passing is incomprehensible, but I believe that your comfort to her at that moment is the most beautiful and perfect gift you could give anyone. Hugs and prayers to you and your family - lifting you all and finding healing and strength.

    My dear sweet friend, you are covered with prayers and have been. I'm so very saddened for your heart, for your loss, but know without great certainty that you will see her on the other side, and she will definitely tell you then how much she loved you being there for her in her final minutes. Sending loads of ((HUGS)).

    i'm so happy you made it to her beside in time to say goodbye. living so far from my mom I always worried about getting home in time and sad to say I pretty much have the same story as you, my mom called me to say "come home" my daughter and I arrived early Friday morning, by that evening my mom was in heaven. I will be praying for you and your family through this difficult time. and remember to take care of you.

    How special it was that you were there with her. I am sure that literally meant the world to her right then. Your poor Grandpa though, and your mother. It is so hard to see the people we love in pain like that. Hugs to you xx
