The location of Meridith's shower is really close to the nursing home my grandmother is in. So, my mom & I ran over there right after the shower. I have missed visiting with my grandma. I always went to see my grandmother at least once a week before Bree was born. Then when Bree came, I was really hesitant to bring her there for a little while because of all of the germs. (I've turned into a bit of a germ-a-phobe)! Anyway, I figured that Bree was 1 month old..... and it was about time she got to meet her great-grandmother! Unfortunately, my grandmother is not doing very well. She has been progressively going down for quite some time, but it seems as though she has slipped away even more since the last time I saw her. I have always been very close to here, and I had hoped & prayed that she would hang on long enough to meet my precious little girl. I have such wonderful memories with my great-grandmother, and although I knew Bree would never get to know my "Nanny" the way I knew my great-grandmother..... I had hoped that my Nanny would get to know Bree. Unfortunately, I don't know if that will really get to happen either. I pulled Aubrey out of her stroller & brought her close to my grandmother's bed (she is bed ridden at this point), but my Nanny never even really looked at her. It was as if she really didn't see her. It made me so sad, not just for me & Bree..... But for my grandmother. It is just the hardest thing to watch someone you love so much deteriorate before your eyes. I miss her so much already..... I miss the old "Nanny" I grew up with. To all of you who still have grandparents left..... cherish them! They are leave us too quickly!
Here is Bree's first picture with her Great-grandma:
