Visit to Grandma Ruth

We made a quick trip last weekend to visit with Grandma Ruth. Those of us that live close are trying to visit often to help Mom as she grieves the loss of Dad and adjusts to life alone. She's doing well...she has a great network of church friends and family that are loving her and keeping her busy. While we were washing dishes together one day I said that it was hard to believe that Dad wasn't going to come in the door any minute and she began to cry saying, "I know, the tears are always right there, ready to come." I think it's part of her personality to put on a brave face and not get too emotional in front of people. We're all trying to give her space and permission to really grieve though. If you think of it, send up a little prayer for her today.
