It has been a tough past couple of days. My Grandma Myers passed away this past Thursday (June 5, 2008). She had been diagnosed with Lung Cancer a little over a year ago and fought all the way through it. Grandma was a fighter with an amazing attitude and upbeat soul that made her beat cancer. It was just within the past few weeks she had really been aching with pain. She was suppose to go to her doctor's appt and instead was taken to the ER as she stopped breathing on the way. She was given CPR and started breathing again. Grandma was hooked up to oxygen, then taken off and able to breathe on her own. Hours passed and she was moved to her own room because she was doing so good. Around 6:30 pm my dad and sisters decided to head home and return in the morning to see her. Before an hour passed, they received a phone call to hurry back. Grandma had then passed away on their way back to see her.
Grant and I left the following morning to spend time with my Dad and family. My heart is broken for my Dad; he has now lost both Parents. I guess it is hard to believe that "One Day" I will have to feel his pain. Getting older is now starting to make me wish that we could always be "the kids". Life is precious and making every moment count is crucial. Family means more than the world to me and I thank God everyday for the loved ones in my life.
I pray that Dad and the rest of his siblings make it through this tough time. Cry your heart out and remember all the wonderful memories that Grandma has given us. My siblings and I were very fortunate to go to Grandma's house the following day and take some special memories with us. I wanted a wind chime and I will now have this special piece of Grandma always blowing in the wind right beside my heart. I love you Grandma and will miss you more than you can imagine. I am happy that you are with Grandpa and that you are both with the Lord. Hugs and Kisses Always.
Love Grant, Chas & Daisy Arnoldink
