Granny

I know this post is going to be out of order, but for memories sack I have to do this right now.

Today my Mom called me to let me know that my Granny (mom's mom) was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, stage 4. She was later today taken into surgery to take out some of the huge mass in her colon and to see where else it was or had spread to. It spread alright. To her liver (which means its everywhere) for sure her outer walls of her stomach and some in her lung.

When I heard the news, I kinda didn't realize right away how bad it was, my Granny is pretty dang tough she can handle it. Wrong. Plan and Simple. Its going to be a long road ahead for her or really short. I don't know if she is going to do chemo yet because the Cancer Doc (don't know the correct term for that doc) hadn't yet come in to talk to her about chances and all that of doing chemo.

But I like to take a few min of everyone who may read this your time.

My Granny taught me how to LOVE, she taught me how I want to be when I am a grandma, How to have a relationship with her children (even if she worries to much about the weather:) She never missed a big event in my brothers or I life. All growing up I can remember her being there with my grandpa of course at Christmas time. Granny and I use to get up in the middle of the night on Christmas eve and sit and look at how pretty the tree was all lite up and the presents, it looked so beautiful! She taught me to keep a journal. She was always there for me. She went to the Temple as often as she could. And she NEVER EVER judged me for getting married Civilly, quite Frankly the look on her and my Grandpa's face when they saw me all dressed up and beautified for my wedding it was like all the dreams and hopes for me came true. She unexpectedly made random visits to my house when we lived in Snowflake I wasn't always prepared for her to stop by but in the end I was always happy I got to visit with her.

She is such an example to me, I love her so much and hope that she is proud of me and the choices I have made in life. I want nothing more then for her to get healthy again and be happy. She truly is one of a kind. And I will always be SO grateful for the example she has shown me over the years.

Granny if you happen to be able to read this or have this read to you, Your one of my Hero's. Get Better soon.

I love you, Heather
