On a more solemn note, On November 24th 2009 My Great Grandma Croft passed away. Just two months shy of her 90th birthday. There is so so much that I would love to say about her but don't know how really. She was such a beautiful, wonderful woman! She was so strong up until the very end. I was fortunate enough to spend some time in her home with her before she passed and say goodbye. One thing about My Grandma was that she always gave us kisses right on the lips. There was no getting out of it. She would take your head in both hands and lay a nice big one on ya. As many times as I tried to get out of it I was always glad I didn't, it meant she loved me. The last time I saw her I wasn't feeling very well. I went in to say goodbye and she wanted me to give her a kiss. I told her I didn't want to get her sick. She said "There is nothing you can give me now." But I told her I didn't want her to be uncomfortable or sick. She then told me to be a good wife and mother. Then as I held her hand and told her goodbye, she said "Right here, give me one right here." And tapped her cheek. So I bent down and have her a kiss on her soft cheek. It was a beautiful last memory for me. She passed just a few days later. A beautiful women indeed, even after death, and I will miss her for a long time. I am so thankful for the wonderful legacy she has given me and hope I will be able to make her proud in my life.
