Dear Sondi, I am sorry for your loss. I remember you speaking of your MeMaw fondly when we worked together. Love from Elizabeth at Amazon
Patty Ann was my meemaw. Not only my meemaw, but my spirit guide, my confidant and my light. She made my childhood very special by making so many wonderful memories for us. I only hoped to return the favor these past 7 years. I knew I could not change her circumstances but wanted to make my time with her special. We have taken many country drives together, eaten out at different restaurants (even ordering a beer and cheers'ing! Her Idea!), went chasing waterfalls all the way to New River Gorge (i would get her as close up as possible so she could see them), went shopping and sometimes we would pull over at a beautiful park to just talk and take in the scenery of the tree changes colors. Once, she said I really want to go to church. So, I drove in town and took her. She was so excited! Everyone recognized her right away and she felt at home (even though I had to nudge her to stay awake through service lol). One time she talked about missing papa, and I asked if she had been to his gravesite in which she said no. I said well today we are. So we went to the store and bought hanging baskets to put on everyone's grave, I brought different baskets to her letting her hand pick each one. She wanted to be able to sit at the grave for a bit, so I bought a camp chair for her and we sat there graveside for an hour reminiscing. Even though I was told she was getting more confused, I never saw it. She always kept me updated on the family and she always asked about my boys. I would be so excited to show her pictures of our adventures and she would light up and couldn't wait to hear all about them. One time I went to see her and I couldn't find her anywhere in the facility and I had several nurses and aids looking with me. We finally found her tucked away in her committee meeting (she was secretary of the committee) and I even got to sit in on it! She was very committed to hearing everyone's concerns in the facility and was dedicated to making changes there. She was most upset that they didn't have church services when she first moved into the facility. Her goal was to get a pastor to come in and have a weekly service. she was excited to tell me that she made that happen! She made many friends while living at the facility and was excited to introduce me to everyone :) I feel she made a real difference there. Meemaw has been waiting a long time to join our father in heaven and all her loved ones that have passed on.....for her I am happy that she is now at peace. For me, my heart will take some time to heal. She was an exceptional woman. One of complete love. My supporter, my cheerleader, my light. I can say that she is HAPPY. This brings me peace.
