Cherish the people in your life that are important to you. Never forget that they won’t always be there. Nothing in life is ever guaranteed.
Don’t let another day go by without letting loved ones know you care. Pick up the phone or pay them a visit.
This post is honor of my Grandma who passed away this past Sunday. Grandma, I love you. You will be missed.
xoxo,
carly

I'm sorry about your grandma :-(…that was really beautiful & touching what you wrote.

Was she ill? (Not that that makes a difference in the mourning process.)
Was she able to attend your wedding?

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother.

In response to your comment about my family photos: yes, I will cherish them.
What's unortunate is that between both of us, there aren't many grandparents. His last grandparent died when we'd only been dating a few months. I have two grandparents still alive. That's it. But you can see them – they're my mom's parents.
And, unfortunately, two of my cousins couldn't attend the wedding. One lives in Saudi Arabia and wouldn't make the trip (which is frustrating because he has the money to make the trip). The other went on a drug trip the day before. (He had been clean for about 5 months, but that's the demon of drugs.)
In spite of those absences, I will cherish those photos. Always.
Just as you will cherish your wedding photos. I hope your grandma was able to attend your wedding. I'm sorry for your loss – I know words don't mean much.

Thank you all for your support.
A few extra words about my Grandma…
She was quite old and lived a long life. I hate to say that her passing was "expected". I don't think anyone is ever prepared for this. But, the past year did not treat her well in the health department.
Unfortunately, she could not attend our wedding last month. I have some regret over it, because had we gotten married in November 2008 like we had originally intended, she probably would have been there. I know I can't beat myself up about that, but it still makes me rather sad.
She was a good woman. She loved her family. In the last several years, I think she missed my Grandpa a lot. It brings me some peace to think that she is now reunited with him.
xoxo, carly
