Today the world lost an amazing woman and heaven gained an angel. My Granny, born August 12, 1917, met Jesus today around 2:15pm. Words cannot express how much I loved this woman or how much she meant to me.....I also have no doubt about how much she loved me. I saw her several times this week, but we had our last conversation on Saturday. In the past few years, sometimes she confused me with my Granddaddy's cousin, Dot. When I first went in her room on Saturday, she, of course, thought I was Dot. However, after we talked a little, and as I left, she knew who I was. I was kissing her and telling her how much I loved her. After I told her that I loved her, the last thing she ever said to me was, "I have always loved you Buffy." That I had no doubt. She had unconditional love....for all of us. I think all of her children and grandchildren knew that without a doubt. What an amazing gift to have! I feel sorry for those out there who never knew the love like my Granny gave to us.
My Granny was a beautiful woman inside and out. Take a look at some of her pictures from her younger years.
I made it just in time to be with her as she left us today. She took her lasts breaths peacefully. I'm not sad for her because she gained heaven, but I'm sad for me. I miss her already, and she hasn't even been gone a full day. I miss hearing her laugh, I miss her picking on me about not having a boyfriend, I miss her cooking, I miss her stories, I miss her cussing at me because I locked her oven and she didn't know how we would ever get it unlocked, I miss her defending me when the phone operator said that the kids in the house were being mischievous, I miss holding her hand, I miss her love....let's just say I'll miss everything about her.
Granny, I know you are in a much happier place. I know you met Jesus today. I know you got to see Granddaddy and Dan today. I know you probably even told God that he should send me my husband! I am happy that you are where you will never hurt or cry again. I am happy that you are in a place where you can walk and run. I'm happy that you are with our Lord. I will see you again! I miss you, and I love you as much as you loved me....I always have and I always will!

Oh Buffy. My "Mimi" is in a nursing home now (also suffering with dementia) and is not expected to be with us much longer. Your words really hit home with me.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Heaven really did gain an angel today. She must have been an amazing woman.
Thank you for sharing.
