Going Home

Yesterday, Sunday September 18, 2011, my sweet 92 year old grandmother, Geggy, went home to be with our Savior.  My mom woke yesterday with a feeling she needed to go to the nursing home so we got ready and off we went. We were just planning on staying a minute to check on her and come back later to stay awhile, but everything completely changed after we arrived. My mom walked into see her and her eye was slightly open which her eyes had not been open for over a week. My mom went to go talk to the nurse and when she got back I went into see her and both of her eyes were open. I called my mom in there then the sweet nurse came into the room and about 5 minutes later we watched her take her last breath. I was standing at the door way with my 17 month old son, Aiden, and as she was taking her last breath Aiden in his innocent, sweet voice said "bye". It was as if he knew that it was time to say bye to Geggy. His goodbye was not forever though since we will once again see Geggy welcoming us into Heaven with our grandfather, Papa. It was difficult to watch Geggy take her last breath, but I have hope and faith that she is singing and humming to our Savior as well as dancing (well maybe swaying side to side...she was baptist after all :))!! I love Geggy very much but I know she is in a much better place with no pain and with a healthy body.  Geggy left this earthly home for a much sweeter home in Heaven...she experienced that there truly is no place like home!
