I miss her...
Grandma passed away on February 24th. We had all been there for 2 weeks straight. We camped out on the floor every night. The nurses said it was getting close on Sunday the 21st. So we prayed...we sang...we cried.
It was Jason and my cousin Lacie's birthday on Monday the 22nd. Grandmas was the 23rd. We all sang Happy Birthday to her "Carter" style. Wished her Happy Birthday for the last time. On Wed. the 24th I was exhausted.
I needed a little break.
I had been watching every breath she took...every movement of her chest rising up and down. I was so tired so I took the day off. I got the call about 2:30 saying that it was over.
She had gone.
We sped to Grandpa.
They said in her last moments she looked torn. She looked at my Grandpa and a tear rolled down her cheek. Then she took her last breath. It was such a spiritual feeling. We knew the veil was thin. We knew she was crying as we were. We were the most important thing to her. It has almost been a month and I still think about her everyday. I cry because I miss her but I rejoice in knowing she is my
Grandma forever.
When Lilly was sick last week she had one day that she slept 23 out of the 24 hours. She woke up asking where Grandma Carter was. I asked her if she had seen her and she said yes. She pointed to the ceiling and said she was right there. Then I had a little talking to with Grandma. I said that she could come talk to the kids whenever she wanted...just not when they are sick!!! It was just like her though to call and see how they were doing. Especially if one of them had been sick.
She worried.
She had gone.
