Grandma..

Grandma is now in heaven watching over us, with grandpa. She passed on January 24, 2011. She is no longer in pain. She is in a better place. Spending forever and ever with grandpa. :-) Grandma went very comfortably, very peacefully, and surrounded by family. She was asleep when it happened.

The last time I saw her was on the 19th. I had a hard time seeing her then. Every day mom asked if I wanted to go and see her, I never did after that, I couldn't. It was heart breaking.  The last time I saw her, it is hard for me to think about now. I didn't think too much about it then though. She wasn't suppose to hug anyone (because of what she had), but I think she knew that was the last time I would see her because she grabbed my arm and pulled. She wanted a hug, I gave her one. No way in hell would I ever not give my grandma a hug when she wanted one.

On the 23rd, Grandma was rushed to the hospital, the doctors thought she wasn't going to make it through the night. She did. As bad as I wanted to go see her in the hospital, I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to see her like that. I wish I could of. I know she understands, but I just wish I could bring myself to have seen her one last time... Although I will always be able to remember Grandma the way she was. I will be thinking about the memories we shared as well.

Picture time!! :-) Thanks to cousin Norma!!

Grandma.

I also love this picture A LOT!!!!!

Grandma always loved to dye Easter eggs.

 I wrote Grandma a poem...

Broken hearts
Pain and sorrow
Every tear for a reason
Each one for you
We knew it was time
We came prepared
We knew it was to happen
Each one of us have a different way
To ease our pain
We all accepted the time was near
God was looking for a new angel
To help watch over
Each and everyone of us
Grandma, he chose you
We have accepted
Tears and all
You will NEVER be forgotten

One last thing.........
Before I post...
Grandpa passed 25 years ago.
Grandpa was 5 years older.
Grandpa was 63 years old. Grandma was 83 years old. (20 years different)
Grandpa's birthday was on Sept. 26th. Grandma's was on Sept. 17th. (9 days apart)
Grandpa passed away on Jan. 15th. Grandma passed on Jan. 24th (9 days apart as well)



Crazy enough....

For as long as I can remember (probably like since I was 10 or 11) I alwayed said I wanted a tattoo of a rose, here I am about 11 years later, and 5 tattoos later, and I have yet to get a damn rose. lol

I saddly gave into myself, I have been wanting an Eeyore tattoo. I never wanted to actually get it because it would be an meaning less tattoo. However I gave in and went and got it. Its the cutest little thing!!!! I just wanna hug it. lol. When I say little I mean little. Its about 2 1/2 in tall and about 2in wide. lol

Isn't it just sooo cute!!! lol He looks kinds fake, like he was airbrushed on. I hope the color don't fade too much.
So as much as I thought my Eeyore tattoo is meaning less, Mom, Tyra, Tiffany, and Alex changed my opinion alittle. Mom said I have said I wanted an Eeyore tattoo even before I wanted the rose, Tyra said I have loved Eeyore forever!!!, Tiffany said the same thing, and Alex reminded me that it use to be my nickname in school. lol Oh geee, lol.
So this "meaning less" tattoo, turned into a symbol for myself I guess. lol Either way I LOVE IT, and I am glad I got it done.

Nothing really?!?!

So I am not a huge chocolate fan, don't get me wrong I do like it but its not something I can eat all the time. But there are these thingys called "Lindor Truffles," and OMG I am in heaven over them. They are sooooo yummy. lol

So anyways... Grandma is doing better in spirit. She said the other day that she knows she won't be going back home. She understands why too. She knows that no one at home can be with her 24/7 and no one can take care of her the way the nursing home does. The last few times that I have seen Grandma she been high spirited, and very talkative. Today she wasn't so much. She was kind of down, but she still talked. Grandma LOVES to talk!! :-)
So Grandma has her own room to herself at the nursing home, and well the walls were very plain. Of course after a few drawing from her great grand kids, and the picture frame I made for her it wasn't. My goal was to make a picture frame with all her grand kids, and great grand kids in, sadly some people didn't get the pictures they needed to get to me, in time. So I had to deal with what I had.

Part 1 of the frame. Her grand kids (minus 2)

Part 2: Her great grand kids (minus (I think) 3)



She loved it and that's all I care about!!! :)

So I gotta share my crazy dream. Lol. I had a dream that tons of people were in like a school or a mall or something like that. Everyone was running out, but no one would tell me why. I was carrying this box thingy and it had like dirt or something in it. Someone ran into me and knocked the box outta my hand and Tiffany caught it. She started dumping the dirt into a trash can (still people were out of the building), I start getting mad and crying, so I tackled her. lol. Her and I followed the people out of the building but I had to go back in because I left my phone in the hallway. I went back in alone and somehow Tiffany was texting me from her phone to her phone (because I had her phone)? haha. Telling me to hurry up because they are coming and Mom and Tyra were waiting. I got my phone and walked out, by time I got out of the building everyone was gone even Mom and Tyra. So I went back in to use the payphone (hello I have a phone haha) And Tiffany come walking in with a snake telling me to hurry up. I walk back outside and Mari is my moms truck waiting for me. I get in the truck, Mari tells me Mom and Tyra were missing, and the big blue bubble was last seen leaving my house and as we were driving away Tiffany was being eaten by the BIG blue bubble monster thingy. Mari drove us to someones house and we got out. She went inside and cooked dinner, while I took a shower. When I got out of a shower my box of dirt was on the floor and I hugged it (weirdo!!!) I walked out of the bathroom, and I couldn't find Mari. She was in the kitchen being cooked by the giant blue bubble thingy. I woke up just as the blue bubble thingy was coming after me. lol

I have no idea what that dream was about or why the hell I had a box of dirt that was "important" to me. Maybe it was keeping the blue bubble away I don't know. lol Thought it was funny.

Well...

Well Grandma Hughes went into the hospital on December 21 2010. She was moved to a nursing home (aka Care Center) late last night. Where Hospice is suppose to look her over and stuff. She can't walk anymore, she can hardly stand. Grandma is pretty weak!!!! Her kidneys are hardening, and her bladder is shutting down. The doctors say her body is just shutting down in general. We also just recently found out that she has Mercer. In case you are like me and don't know what Mercer is, it is a staph infection. Grandma will have to be on special antibiotics for a long time to take care of it. Mercer is also VERY contagious. We are suppose to wear gloves and stuff when we go in the room to see her. :(

The doctors say there isn't anything else they can do for her. Sad times right now. However when her time comes we can't stop it, she will no longer be in pain, and I am sure Grandpa is waiting to see her. She has been talking about Grandpa a lot lately, I think she knows her time is coming. :'( I do enjoy hearing stories about Grandpa, and about when Grandma was a child. However I wish she would have always shared those stories!!

Grandma is a strong lady, she never says when she is in pain, she never tells anyone what she wants (she always hints (-: ), and she rarely complains. We love you Grandma!!!!!
