My Grandma, she is amazing.

Today I had the opportunity to spend the whole day with my grandma. She has not been feeling very well lately and it breaks my heart. She comes over to my parents house on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while my grandpa goes to the temple to clean. She stays over for most of the day. My mom had an appointment today so she asked me to come over to hang out with my grandma and of course I did. I had so much fun sitting in the living room talking with her today. She is such a STRONG woman and one of the most positive people I have ever met. 

A few years ago she had heart surgery, a quadruple bypass surgery to be exact. I remember sitting there with her and she was just so positive about it all even though I know she was scared. Once she got that done she was feeling better but she keeps having different things going on. She now has blood clots in her lungs and some other things that are going on which make her really weak. I get sad seeing her like this because I remember her being such a busy grandma doing things all the time. 

I loved having the opportunity to talk with her all day today. As I look back on the day today I didn't hear her say one negative thing all day. I want to be more like her. She always talks about when she gets better shes going to do this or that. The things that she said she was going to do are all things she was going to do for OTHER people. She is such a great example to me. 

I know that she doesn't feel good, I know that she feels weak, I know that it is hard for her to do things but she tries her best to not show it. She never complains at all. As I was driving home today from my parent's house I got tears in my eyes because I feel so lucky to have her as my grandma. 

PS. Sorry if I spell things wrong. I don't reread what I write until later because I don't want to change anything. The sentences or paragraphs might not make sense but I write down exactly what I am thinking at that moment and I don't want to change that. 

Here are some pictures from today and a couple from the other day.
