Oh, how life is difficult sometimes. Grandma Charlotte passed away last night at 720pm, after a fight with lung cancer. Ive been here before, been through worse, but if I could take Kira's pain away I would in a heartbeat. She was so close to Grandma, and she has never lost anyone before. I have never felt more helpless as a parent as I do now. I just hope I can help her through this the best way possible. I will eternally be grateful to Grandma for her relationship with Kira; she has been there for her, as second parent almost since she was born. I will forever appreciate that, and it means more to me than either of them will ever know. She was quite a lady, quite spunky, and I know that she will be keeping everyone in heaven on their toes.

I pray for everyone to be okay and get through this. She had a rich, full life, but it just seems like four months isnt a lot of time to get to say goodbye. Those are four months we didn't think we would have though when she was diagnosed in October.

As I am sleep deprived, and my eyes are still swollen from crying yesterday, I am rambling and not making much sense. I just wanted to say goodbye, and express thankful thoughts for her life, and her influence on Kira.
