Unfortunately, Mrs. Lime's mother passed away over the weekend. She had been sick off and on for 9 years. While it's a terrible situation, I prefer to think about the things that she was able to see and do over the past few years, given that she could have easily passed away nearly a decade ago.
1. She was able to come to our wedding. She was very excited about planning the whole event and was so excited when it finally came together. On our wedding video, the videographer went around to the various guests to let them give use well-wishes. When they got to Mrs. Lime's mother, she started crying tears of joy while saying, "I'm just so happy!". She summed it up very well.
2. She lived to spend 18 months with her granddaughter. Kali 1.6 received tons of love (and gifts) from her Grandma during their short time together. She was so happy to have a granddaughter to brag on. Mrs. Lime has a baby picture of her mom in our house that Kali regularly points to and says 'Be-be Ga-ma'. We have plenty of picture of Kali and Grandma together when she gets older. For now, Kali 1.6 loves to point to a picture of her Grandma as a baby and I'm sure that's just fine with Grandma.
