REST PEACEFULLY

     So, the other day I actually heard that "i fly like paper get high like plains" song on the radio.  Besides that...I was just talking to my boyfriend at the same time my mom was talking to his mom.  Other than that...I haven't been taking my Omeprazole because I ran out but I'm doing okay without it.  On another note I'm distracted by other things to realize that my Grandma's passing wasn't just a dream. 
     Grandma Margie rests peacefully now.  I bet she's with Brian, my uncle.  He's showing a lot more emotions than anyone else is.  I don't really know if that's a true statement.  I shouldn't talk about him in a way that could make him sound weak because that's not how I mean it.  It hits me every now and then, when I have to tell people what happened.  If they give their condolences and move on then I'm okay.  Some time I wonder why they're hugging me so hard.
      The picture was from at Thanksgiving.  We were frying the turkey and Grandma had made sure that she watched the news reports on how to fry the turkey.  Warren knew what he was doing really but he let her feel like she was helping.  Haha!
      After we had all left her room in ICU and Pastor Lynnae found a room for us to talk in she had us do a "Remembrance Service" kind of thing.  Which was us going around telling each other what we remembered.  She was Brian's Mother and Father figure since Grandpa Papke died when he was 4 with lunge cancer.  She was Matt's and my own babysitter who could mix up the best chocolate milk and toast, my favorite being cinnamon toast.  Dad told us about how he was glad that he had a mother-in-law that he got along with- better than my mom getting along with grandma.  We also remembered stories that Grandma told to us...about riding down a hill with her younger brothers and sisters attached to in by wagon- which later flew over the bicycle after coming to a screeching halt before hitting a fence...also about her and her sibling making a cake for their parents where the oven exploded and the only reason they got in trouble was because they asked about how the crack got in the window so the youngest explained that 'that's where the "esplosion" was.'
      It's been good, great, and wonderful.  With more to come, perhaps, I bid you all a good night.
