"Remember who loves you"

My very sweet Great Grandma Caroline passed away on Tuesday, and it was such a bittersweet day. She has been wanting to leave this world for quite some time but because she had such a bitter attitude towards being as old as she was and still living, I would always tell her that heavenly father didn't want to take someone so bitter as her, she would always tell me, "You're right Chelsea, I wont talk about it again." She was such a wonderful lady and my favorite. I loved her so much, and I realized she was such an important part of my life when I moved to Boise. If I was in need to talk to someone, late at night, I knew I could call Great Grandma and she would be so happy to just have a phone call ( and probably the only one awake at around 11 at night that wouldn't mind the phone ringing). From 2004-2007, we spent welcoming in the New Year together over the phone, Grandma always stayed up really late and I can tell you that every phone call ended with "Always remember who loves you Chelsea, I do" This last New Years was different, I couldn't call Great Grandma, because she had moved to Highland Estates and she always fell asleep around 9. It was definitely different, but I was glad that I knew she was taken good care of. I loved going to Burley to visit Great Grandma, I would always "Surprise"her,because she would be so happy too see me. Sometimes I would call her and be talking to her on the phone when I walked in to her house and those moments I will never forget, she was always so surprised and made me feel loved. I will miss her dearly, but I know she is in a better place. The last time I saw her, we were taking her to the Dr., she was fighting everything in life, eating, sleeping, and LIFE. She was miserable and I knew that the time was coming for her. When I found out a couple weeks ago when the paintball tournament in Burley was going to be for Manuel, I was so excited because I finally was going to have time to go home and visit with her. I had some big plans for us, I was just going to visit her for a long time because I missed her. I miss her playing with my hair (Manuel plays with my hair too and , Great Grandma always would ask me if he still plays with my hair and if I like it as much still) I had it in my head that this would probably be the last time I would see her because all the news I had been hearing from the family, she wasn't doing very good. My plans changed on Tuesday, and I know they changed for the best, I am glad she is home, and where she has wanted to be for several years.
