My grandmother just died.

[Ulfwald]

Hey folks I just got word from my father that his mother just died. I was very close to her, plus I lost my grandfather just, her husband of over 65 years, just 2 years ago. I am very lucky, because I do have such a close knit family. This is a heartbreaker though, because it is like I lost the last little bit of my grandfather. These are the ones who taught me the most valuable lesson in life: Always be able to work with your hands, because there is always someone out there willing to pay you to do what they do not want to do.

The fondest memory I have is sitting in his lap whil "helping" him to drive the tractor plowing the field getting it ready for the corn or soybeans to be planted, and then her bringing us a jug of icewater in one of those old glass oraqngejuice jugs. After that she would go home and finish tending her rose bushes.She alway drove that red Maverick.

Well, that is what they are doing now, he is plowing a field of soybeans, and she has his icewater ready, then she will go home and tend the roses.

While death and birth are two of the most common things in the world, we are never prepared for it no matter what happens.

Ulfwald, I am truely saddened by your loss. I lost a friend today, but that cannot compare to the sadness [or hapiness if you believe that they have gone to a better place] of your family's loss. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight.

ulfwald,

I can't say that I feel all that bad here. Seems like your Grandmother had a long and fruitful life. Your Grandparents obviously did a great job in their kids and therefore made you that much better a person.

Dieing is a part of life and it sounds to me like she made a good life. Good for her!

ulfwald,

My condolence to you & your family

I had the similar lesson from my grandfather...translate to English, ?the empty palms is the sign of the wealthy person? (if you know how to use your hand you will never be out of work), and I was 7 years old at the time.

I have lost him 25 years ago, but now and again I still misses him...I still remember the sweet smell of his pipe tobacco, and his beautiful eyes & smiles when I visit him.

My most sincere condolences on the passing of your grandmother. I also have a close family. My Mom is 85, and sharp as a tack, but her physical body is running into hard places. I'm thankful for every day she's with us.

Wishing you the best thoughts and memories of your time together.
