R.I.P. Grandma

about 2 weeks ago mom told me htat grandma was diagnosed with Cancer, that day me and rachel drove to quebec. It was a quick trip, we drove more than we slept in those 2 days but it was important. The doctor said it wouldn't be long for her, days, or weeks, so it was important that we get to see her.

Grandma passed away Friday. the "lucky" day 8/8/08. Her kidneys had shut down and papa said she just fell asleep. He was there when she passed away. We're not going for the funeral, Rachel only gets one day off and Al can't get that off work , not with the shop closing in a few weeks. I want to remember Grandma when we were there, smiling. So i have a few days off, i took my 3 berevement days, emotionally, i need them. These last two weeks have just been a roller coaster.

First I get engaged, so happy, then...
Grandma has an epileptic Seizure, suprise....then
Angela's wedding, and Grandpa, not looking so good in my opinion, he's in a wheelchair now and jaundiced. Then ....
Grandma Diagnosed with cancer...then...
Whirlwind trip to Quebec....then
Sick...Flu and cold and work, no sick days were taken....then
Grandma passes away...then
Rachel and Sean Break up and now she needs help moving...

im just emotionally drained.

Rachel said something to me the other day when she told me about her and Sean, she said "I want my Al". That was the sweetest thing, He laughed when i told him and said "she just has to wait" i added that i told her "it only took 8 years, be patient!" lol. Seriously though, i love him so much and feel so loved it's an amazing feeling. Im gonna bake him some goodies on my time off.

We're going to go have dinner at and check out the Dundas Golf and Curling Club for the wedding, at least the reception. It's a Private Golf and Curling club but Al's parents are members there and i was looking at the site online and WOW it's really nice, their banquet rooms are perfect. So Mary and Jim are taking us to dinner there so we can check it out and see how much and stuff. I have a feeling if it's not too much we'll go for it. I just have that feeling.
