My Grandma Crane
Well, Jason is off hunting in Kansas, so the kids and I are up in Burley at my parents' house for the week. It's always fun to be home. I just love being here and spending time with my family. On Friday, Abby and I had the opportunity to go with my mom to visit my Grandma Crane (my mom's mom) in Bennington, Idaho. It is about a 3-hour drive from Burley. It was such a good day. My grandmother just turned 90 last month and I hadn't seen her since my sister's wedding in April. It was such an incredible experience to be able to see her again and to introduce her to one of her newest great-grandchildren. At 3 weeks old, Abby is not even the newest addition - one of my cousins had a baby a week ago! My grandmother has led an amazing life and is such a great example to her 10 children, 50+ grandchildren and 100+ great-grandchildren. This was such a bittersweet experience for me because I knew it was very likely the last time I would be able to see her and talk to her in this life. She actually passed away just this morning. I am so grateful I was able to make the trip with my mom and be there with her one last time.

Anne Marie...What a beautiful picture. Abby will treasure that picture someday.... I think that's so wonderful that you were able to be up there to see your Grandma and spend time with her before she passed away. I feel so sad for you....and I wish there was something I could do to help you. Hopefully you'll be able to have a good week there with your family....and especially being there with your Mom during this hard time for her. Take care of yourself....and call me if there's anything I can do for you down here. :o)
That was very touching...and what an amazing picture to treasure!
That is the most precious picture and even more so now that your grandma has passed. I am so sorry that you have lost such a special and important person in your life.
