Goodbye to Grandma Mary

 

They walked into the room and everyone was standing around the bed. misty walked over to Margo and hugged her tightly and said, I am so sorry Margo, how are you feeling ? Better said Margo, and thanks. Then she 
walked over to Joanne and hugged her, as she looked at her grandmother
lying on the bed, she spoke up and said, it looks like she is sleeping. Joanne said she went peaceful ,I told her I knew she missed daddy, and that it was ok if she wanted to go and be with him. I think it was all she was waiting on. I am sure daddy was there to meet her, she whispered Sam! like she was seeing him, then she smiled ,and that was it. Tears ran down Joanne's eyes as she looked at Margo and said, we will miss her I know ,but I think she is where she wants to be .She missed him so much, she knew we all loved her, but daddy was the love of her life, and now she is with him again. I am sure she will be watching over all of us, and her beloved magnolia lane. But she knows she left it in good hands.
Marilyn walked over and hugged Margo and Joanne and said, we are all going to the waiting room, and let you have some time alone with her.
Thanks said Margo, Bob and Daniel asked if the girls would like them to 
stay. we'll be ok said Margo, so everyone headed for the waiting room.

After they all left, Margo sat down on one side of the bed, and Joanne sat on the other. Margo said, grandma I love you so much, and I am going to miss you always. But I know how much you loved grandpa Sam, and I believe that you two are together again. and I am happy that my babies will have guardian angels to watch over them. so  rest now and tell grandpa hello for me, then she kissed her grandmother's cheek. When she stood up tears poured from her eye's as she said, this is not goodbye  we will meet again someday in heaven. Joanne stood up and took Margo in her arms and the two of them cried. Then she  leaned over and kissed Mary's cheek and said, I love you mom now and forever, give daddy a kiss for me.
then she and Margo left the room holding on to each other. 

when they reached the waiting room and they saw Bob and Daniel ,they collapsed into their arms and cried again. A few minutes latter Daniel said, it has been a long day for everyone, and Margo, you need to rest. those twins need you to relax. I know Daniel, and I promise I will. Joanne said, why don't we all just stay at magnolia lane tonight, we'll get some sleep and make funeral arrangements tomorrow. Marilyn said ,we will come over in the morning and what ever you need us to do, we will be happy to help. Thanks said Joanne now lets get Margo home and off her feet for a while. So they all headed for magnolia lane.
