Nana is "plum wore out" as she would say. I have been away from my blog, and from home, sitting with this sweet lady, along with all of the family. We hold her hand, share stories, make sure she is comfortable. Last night, my Mom and daughter and nephew and I, even shared a bottle of wine while sitting in her room with her, telling favorite stories, laughing, and wiping away a tear or two. Nana is tired, and ready to meet her maker. We are making sure that her journey is peaceful.
I will be back soon.
I end this with another Nana-ism,
Be Sweet! Toodle Loo!!

My Nana used to say 'I've lived too long' and perhaps Nana Mary is thinking the same. Celtic Blessings to her and her Beautiful Soul. How comforting for her to have you all around her at this time.
(My Mum's name is Mary and my little princess calls her Nana Mary).
What sweet pictures. She looks like a lovely lady. So glad you can be with her right now. Hoping that she is peaceful and blessed. ((((HUGS))))
It is hard to let someone you love go no matter what their age... or yours. : ) You and your Nana are in my thoughts and prayers. Angela
So sorry Kris.. Hugs and prayers for your family.
God Bless your Nana! She is just lovely. I am going through the same thing with my mom, 86.

I know you will treasure these moments with her and she will too. You seem like such wonderful people. I envy you for the family you have.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I know it is so hard. Saying a prayer for all of you.
Aww holding the hand of someone you love as they leave this earth is one of the most important things in life. God Bless you guys. See you soon.
Prayers to you Kris. My sweet grandmother passed away last August and I spent as much time as I could with her those last few sweet days. Special memories were made.
God bless you and your sweet family Kris.
Please give " Nana" a kiss and hug for me. Someone from Ohio is holding her close in her heart.
I know how difficult it is. I'm keeping you all in my prayers. Love..... Becky
Oh Kris, I know this is a tough time, but hopefully knowing your Nana is loved and has had a wonderful long life helps.
Hugs to you my friend,

Honey, I'm so so sorry. What a blessing you all are to her though. Thinking of you all.
Hi Kris, I've been missing you and wondered where you've been-now I know. My heart is sad for you all but thankful you've had so many years with Nana. Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and yours. May Nana just close her eyes and be in heaven quickly.

Oh Kris.. I wish I could give you a big old hug. You are so lucky that you've been so close to her and that she had such a love-filled life. My parents moved us from Oklahoma to Oregon when I was 4 and I mourn the loss of being able to be with my grandparents more. We rarely saw them and then they were gone. Sad. I'm here for you if you need me. ((hugs)), Teresa
God bless Nana, you and your entire family at this time. Prayers and thoughts are with you all. How wonderful that you get to spend time with her until she is called Home. Truly a blessing for all. Linda

Blessings,

Never far away. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Soak up each and every moment of this wonderful lady.
Hi Kris! I have wondered about what was going on with you as you haven't posted recently, so I am glad you took the time to catch us up. How blessed you have been to have had this wonderful lady for soo long, and yet I know first hand how hard it is to let go. Cherish these last times with her, and I will pray it will be a smooth transition for her and you all. Big hugs to you!
We are all spiritual beings going through a human experience here on earth. When God calls us home then that is when we truly begin to live. It is hard for those left behind because we miss the ones we loved. You will see her again,God has promised that. In the mean time, cherish what time is left, hold on to all the sweet memories. I know she is special to all of you.
(((HUGS))) Susanne ♥
