Everything went very well both yesterday and today. A lot of people came to the visitation and quite a bit to the funeral. It was all put together so lovely. I was one of the people to help put her casket into the hurst or whatever it's called. That was really a tough thing to do for sure.
It is amazing how many people my Grandma touched during her life. No one could dislike her ever. She was always happy to see everyone and she was one of the sweetest, kindest people around. She was really loved by so many and it makes it that much harder to see her go.
I miss her so much already.
I find it so amazing that even with the hurt and sadness of death, we celebrate life. The life that my Grandma lived and the new life she is living now. We even celebrate the new life coming into this world. At the burial site after Grandma was lowered into the ground and many tears were shed; I watched as my Aunt turned away from the casket and smiled hugely at the site of her newest granddaughter all wrapped up in her stroller. As one generation leaves, another one comes. Life and death will always be a continuous part of this world and as hard as death may be, it's the life you need to think about and remember cause that is what really counts. We celebrated two births today. The birth of my Grandma into this world, and the birth of her into God's hands in heaven.
I hope to live on in my Grandmother's footsteps. To be the person we all remember her to be. She was truly amazing and I know that she lives on in my heart and will guide me in the right path.
Rest in peace Grandma.

P.S. The pizza was a really good idea Grandma, glad we could fulfill that wish of yours and as my Aunt would say "You finally did not wake up and say "OH shit, I'm still here"" Love you =)
