Rest in Peace Grandma Agnes :-(

A few months ago my grandma fell and hit her head, they kept her in the hospital for about a week. She ended up back in the hospital not long after. Then they transferred her to the rehab center after. I last spoke with her on her birthday, January 25, 2016. We talked, we laughed... I really enjoyed our conversations. I kept telling myself to call her. And each day I'd say to myself "you really need to call grandma", then like everything else, I push it to the next day. I wasn't sure if she had her phone in the rehab center, so I kept thinking "I need to ask Angel or Tammy how grandma is and if she has her phone "... I didn't talk to them for a while either. I recieved a call from Tammy this evening, letting me know that Grandma had pneumonia and she passed away today, May 27th. She had fluid in her lungs, her kidneys stopped working and she went into cardiac arrest.  She was 86. My heart is broken. Phoebe cried with me. Mikey held me. It is so easy to say that we need to stop waiting for tomorrow, as we never know what God's plans are. But we seldom change up routines. It sucks, so bad. There's no rewind button, no way to take Phoebe to visit her Great Grandmother now. We can't have that time back. And in the end, I am the only reason for it. If there's anything that I can say, it is don't wait for tomorrow. Rest in peace Grandma, I love you so much more than I showed.

For as long as I can remember, Grandma always had a smile on her face. I have a lot of childhood memories from spending summers at Grandma's house. I will cherish them always. The smell of bengay, watching wheel of fortune and golden girls, letting us play waitress at her restaurant "Hal's", giving us the chance to work if we wanted and earn an allowance. I will never forget the taste of her famous roast beef gravy and how no one could make it the same. I remember how we spent every Christmas there, the whole family, and we'd put on performances for the family before gift exchanges. Thank you Grandma, for giving us wonderful memories that we will forever cherish. Rest now, we love you and will keep you alive in our hearts.
