Benjamin's Grandma died this past week. It has been a hard one for Ben He loved her very much. One of the memories i remember of her is when we were having a family party and i couldn't find Ben anywhere. i finally went upstairs and Ben and her were playing video games in the bedroom. :) i sat there like....how old are you? hahha but Ben loved her. She accepted me into this family. Every time she would talk to me, she would NEVER forget to mention my beautiful boys. She was the sweetest lady. When i first came into the Miller family i remember she used to sit on this bar stool in the kitchen and used to greet everyone. As time passed and she got sicker and sicker she moved to the chair in the living room, NO matter how terrible she felt, she ALWAYS said hello to me. She was ready to go. She had to be fed by tube. She was getting worn out. She would spend as much time as she could at the parties and than go upstairs. She was so uncomfortable and so tired. I am so glad i had the opportunity to meet this sweet lady. i also got the opportunity to know she wasn't alone while passing. Her mother and father were there to take her. And she wasn't scared. She wants her children to know how proud she is of them. And her grandchildren to know that she is watching over them, and her sweet husband to know she is waiting.
I remember a story she told at a baptism shortly after Jasper was born, how she got baptized in a river a cold river. But she didn't regret it once. She was strong in the gospel. She kept the Miller family in line and made a great legacy behind her. I'm glad god can now be with her now to hear her stories. She deserves the best treatment after what she has gone through. She was a tough cookie! If there was one thing i could tell her right now as final words. it would be " thank you for accepting me, even though i wasn't the best at first, you made no judgments. You always made me feel welcome, i'm glad i had the opportunity to meet you."
Glad she is happier now.
