It's been a while...

Gee- I seem to have forgotten that I have a place that I can let my sh*t out-
So last week was rough- and that is to say the least..

Anna Dominguez ( hubby's g-ma) has gone home to the beautiful fancy place ( this is how she described things before she left us) with the beautiful dresses and good food, and lots of people.
She was a neat lady- I am thankful that I was able to know her for a short time and love her as much as I did- and knowing that she loved me too was a gift. She was a hell of a lady- she made me laugh, always had nice things to say about me and she was quite amusing at times too. I am sad though that I didn't get to hear more of her stories from when she was young and still lived in Germany. I can only imagine the things that she lived through as a child and young adult- all the changes to the world that she saw- both good and bad and the love that she shared with her husband. 
She beat breast cancer, lost her only child and lived until she was 84 years old! That's a good long run, and she had Arturo by her side, and the love of her 4 grandson's and their wives and children to enrich her life.

I had a dream about her the morning she passed- it was so strange- she was sitting next to me in a hospital bed in a strange house- there was a couch across the room with a baby on it ( who strangely enough looked like a family friend) a piano with 2 black kittens playing a song- a movie poster that kept changing- first one was Les Miserable' and outside on the patio looking out to the horizon was a young man waiting to take her home-

The paramedics managed to get a heart beat on her after working so hard- it gave the boys and g-pa time to say good bye- let us all deal with the idea of her actually being gone- without the life support she fully went home to rest about ten thirty in the evening-

Again- I was having another strange dream about her before I found out-

This time we were speaking in German together and I understood everything she was telling me- the last thing I told her was to go with love and peace- then hubby called and told me it was over. 

I am sad in my heart for the loss- yet relieved because she isn't hurting any longer- she was certainly loved and cared for the entire way- and she was home with the love of her life- just the way that it should be- comfortable and quiet.
