My grandma was diagnosed not too long ago with dimensia, but we were told that many people with this condition can live for quite some time. So, I was a little surprised when I got a call this evening saying that my grandmother is close to passing. I gathered the children and explained what was going on and that grandma would probably be dying soon. This led to a discussion on relationships and family and, of course, death. I then got to call my grandma and talk to her and tell her I love her.
Later that night when I tucked the kids into bed, I overheard them talking...
Isabelle--"You know that when you die, you get your body back without any scars or anything like that?"
Ava--"I know, I know, we'll be just like how are bodies are here..."
Isabelle--"Our bodies will be even BETTER!"
Ava--"I hope not! I don't want to be TOO SHINY! I just want to be me."
Cause, ya know, she's already pretty darn shiny!
I am thankful for a grandma who is who she was, and that my kids are who they are! And that grandma gets to keep shining!
