Unexpected




I hope that when I am an old lady (if I live that long), that I will not linger, but pass away quickly following a healthy life. T's grandmother passed away on July 6th this year. She was in really good health for an 87 year old lady. She mothered and raised five children, four boys and a girl. The oldest of which is my father-in-law. Margaret raised him his first two years all alone due to the war taking away his dad. She was a strong lady. So, we took an unexpected trip home in July to go to grandma's funeral and see the extended family and it was really neat to see the places where my husband's family is from.
