It wasn't long after I learned of the passing of Grandma Dorothy that I realized the date. September 23, 2010. Nothing special about the date in particular, but for me, and the 23rd, urgh! Read this post in case you haven't been following too long. September 10th, 2001 (the day before the infamous 9/11/01), Dorothy's husband of MANY years passed away. And, 4 years ago on September 22nd, my uncle Bob passed away. So many wonderful, terrific people taken from our lives too soon, yet not a moment longer than God had purposed for them. My grandmother was 94 years old. She'd had a wonderful, yet difficult at times, life. She was loved by soooo many and I'm still in the denial stage right now about her even being gone. Tuesday night at the funeral home and Wednesday for the funeral, things will become more "real" that she is gone now and in a MUCH better place, free from the pain and suffering she had endured. I just couldn't help but feel how ironic it was that the date she died just happened to be the 23rd.
On a bit of a happier/lighter note, my family went to see the Wizard of Oz play in Wamego, KS. Brady was the scarecrow and boy was he a great actor. We were very impressed and the boys loved it. I worried about it being a little too scary for them, but they understood that everyone was in character (because they knew Uncle Brady was) so they knew it was make-believe. It was a very good time, but made for a late evening and early morning. Today the weather was borderline cold, yet not gonna complain. It was beautiful. The clouds before the K-State game were amazing and there was a slight delay before K-State played and won. Logan and Taige went to the game with Jarin and Brendan. I have LOTS of pictures to share, but am exhausted tonight and headed to bed soon.
