My sweet Nana passed away yesterday afternoon.
This was not completely unexpected; although, she deteriorated quite rapidly since her cancer diagnosis a few weeks ago.
All of her kids were with her when she died, and Dad was able to pray with her and thank her for being such a good mother before she passed away. Mom said that he cried two different times, and that made me so sad! I've never seen Dad cry before.
I feel like I need to be with my family, and my midwife has given me the green light, so we're packing up and heading for the County this evening. The visiting hours are tomorrow night, and the funeral will be on Sunday. Since I'm just a week out from my due date, I'm going to bring everything that I might need - just in case.
Both of my brothers are trying to fly in from Texas, so it will be nice for everyone to be together. I would LOVE to not have my baby this week-end in an environment that I don't even know, but sometimes that's just how life goes. I am learning to REALLY roll with life these days...
We just may be bringing three little Booker boys back home with us!
Thank you for your love and prayers...

So sorry Amy! I know you were concerned about this, so I will pray that you are able to be there with your family and that the baby will wait until later to come. Lots of love!

i just read your blog tonight and was sad to see that your grandma passed away, but happy for you that you were able to go there and come back, without the baby making an outside appearance. :) I love you lots and can't wait to hear of the next booker boy to come bursting onto the scene (ok...so, not the best choice of words, but hope I made you smile at least :). xooxxo love you!!
