On Thursday my husbands Grandmother passed away.
Although we knew she was battleing Lymphoma, we had no idea it would cause such a swift and uncomfortable end to her life.
The last few days we have been remembering…
remembering good times.
Good memories.
Remembering the impact she made on so many lives.
You will be missed Carol.
My grandma.
My little girl.
Both creative.
Both adorable.
Both opinionated.
Both Audrey.
Both much loved.
The day after Christmas we ventured to Fosston, MN to visit my Great Grandma Inga.
I never get it right, but I believe she is 94. Or 93. Or 97.
Lets just say she is over 40.
My Audrey is named after Grandma Inga’s daughter Audrey. (My grandma Audrey)
This picture gets me a bit choked up… even though the lighting was off and its a little blurry… its Inga and Eddie. Grandma Inga was married to my Grandpa Eddie. He passed away over a decade ago, but obviously was a huge impact in my life as I named my son after him.
This visit with Grandma was different.
The way she recalled memories of her beloved, the way she allowed herself to get caught up in thinking about him and their life together, I was choked up more than once listening to her reminisce.
So thankful for our time together!
Although her birthday is technically not until today, we celebrated Audrey’s birthday over the weekend.
My friend Kristen has this amazing picture of birthday streamers and I knew I wanted to do that for Audrey.
So I spent a whopping $3 and got three rolls of streamers, then taped them up all over the living room.
Audrey stood in the center and beamed a beautiful and proud grin at anyone who would walk by. She was so tickled that it was all for her!
She was dancing and moving like a robot and having so much fun maneuvering through the pink and white crepe paper ‘room’.
Then we all hopped in the car and met the family over at Grandma’s house. Audrey was so excited to see her cake and even steal some frosting!
She is so just like her mama.
If you want to see more of her birthday cake its here!
