Glad to hear that you were able to spend time with her while she's still alive. You should know that your presence meant a lot to her. With all of you around, your grandmother never felt alone, only loved and cared for, until the end.<br /><br />-<a href="https://plus.google.com/+Homecaresugarland/about?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Demetrius Flenaugh @ HomeCareSugarLand</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388343072965396780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542636572353476106.post-40749438267777474102013-10-31T10:49:35.195-07:002013-10-31T10:49:35.195-07:00Thank you.

Gray wrote, "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air", but because of you, it doesn't seem your grandmother will be one of them. Shout her from the rooftops, Katie. <br />That's what I'm doing with a new blog I'm starting, about making found-art sculpture from things we find in the attics and basements and closets and drawers of those we love when we have to clean out their houses, saying goodbye to an era. <br />My grandmother was a poor Cajun girl (b.1905) who moved to the big city of New Orleans to study music only because the town got together and paid her tuition and board, and that's where she met a wealthy Spanish creole who would worship her until the day he died. She could flirt with a stick of furniture; died 2004, may as well have been last week. <br />I'm so so sorry for what I know you're feeling now, and I'm sure you'll pop into my mind every day for weeks. <br />Shout her from the rooftops, Katie, and talk to her every day as though she were with you, cuz she is.<br />Marie-Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123741781712744615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542636572353476106.post-10760289897429615102013-10-25T17:48:58.937-07:002013-10-25T17:48:58.937-07:00Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss as well...Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss as well.OddGhoulOuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418482960938732738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542636572353476106.post-62781476485761247602013-10-25T17:07:10.264-07:002013-10-25T17:07:10.264-07:00What a lovely tribute to your grandmother!
