and to my mom! (We share a birthday!)
Not much has happened yet today--I think Parker and I are going to dinner with my parents to celebrate the double birthday tonight. So far, Parker woke me up with breakfast--he came in with french toast and OJ and gave me the remote and said when Easton gets up, he would feed him breakfast....how romantic!! (for those of you with a toddler--you know I am being TOTALLY serious) The kids weren't up yet, so without eating I went back to sleep!! Sorry, Parker, if the kids aren't up, neither am I! Don't worry, after the kids woke up, I ate--I am not going to pass up a breakfast in bed--no matter how tired I am!
So, my Grandma Sundberg passed away early yesterday morning. I took the kids over to her house on Sunday to say our goodbyes--she wasn't doing well. But, this is a celebration--she has missed Grandpa for 6 years and I think has been ready to join him for that long. It is still sad to think that she is gone, but my overwhelming feelings are of joy for her. She can finally be with her love again and see her two children that have already passed on. At a funeral once, one of the children of the woman was saying how her dad had to finish the castle in Heaven for her mom, that is why her mom had to wait so long after her dad had passed away to join him. I guess that is finally the case with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa was a perfectionist, and he finally finished Grandma's castle. She was a remarkable woman and she taught us all so much. She will be greatly missed.

Sorry about your grandma, but it sounds like it was the best thing for her. We are so blessed to know that she is with her loved ones and that we can see our loved ones again someday too.

I am so sorry to hear about your Grandma. She was a great woman! Believe it or not, I remembered it was your Birthday! Hope you had a great one ... sounds like you did!
Way to go Parker, breakfast in bed and taking care of the toddler is a little piece of heaven if you ask me. I'm glad you hear your Grandma is happy now with your Grandpa. There's peace associated with the passing of a loved one when they have lived a good life and can go on to more happiness.
Happy Birthday Jules!
