She was married to the same man for 61 years. Together they had three children. One boy, Sonny -the oldest - and two girls Michele and Donna - the youngest.
Their children had grown up to have children of their own. Their children's children are all grown and many have their own children too.
Two of their three children are gone - Donna passing away in 95 and Sonny in 98.
Her husband passed away in 2005, right before they celebrated their 62nd anniversary.
62 years of loving the same man, of living with him, of seeing him everyday, of going to bed together every night, of arguing with each other, of laughing together, of crying together, of worshiping together and of loving together...It's almost unheard of these days.
She missed him.
She was lost without him.
She was no longer herself.
She recently celebrated her 82nd birthday - July 29th.
Today, she went Home. She went to be with her mother and father, her brother, her two children, and her love - my grandaddy.
Now she's happy.
Goodbye Mamaw. I love you.

Yvette, I am so very sorry for your loss. Growing up without grandparents, and then losing my precious angel Mother when she was only 47, I can only imagine how you hurt. You have my sincerest sympathy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to thank you so much for being my Amy's friend! It's just amazing how you two have bonded!
