God has another angel

At 2:24 this morning my beloved Grandmother passed away. I have spent the last 6 months going to see her every lunch break at the nursing home. She loved the time we spent together. She looked forward to my short visits with her. We'd laugh and talk about the past. We'd cry as she feared the coming death. She would say with one breath that she just wanted to go quickly without any pain, then other times she'd say that she just wasn't ready and that there was still so much she wanted to do here on earth.
She was a strong lady. She lived a long (90 years) life. She was married to an abusive man for several years, had two boys, a still born son and then my dad. She raised all three of them on her own from the time my dad was two. She was determined to survive, and to not be a victim of her ex-husbands abuse any longer. She worked many hard manual labor jobs, including digging graves by hand at night while the boys were sleeping. She was a crane operator during WWII. She was so proud that she helped build the B-52 Bombers for the war. In fact she always mentioned that she was one of the only ones who cried when the war was over, because she knew she'd lose her job. She also spent her time as a cleaning lady and a gardener. She had the most amazing flowers. She enjoyed rug hooking. She has hundreds of rugs that she hand hooked over her lifetime. She sold two of them several years back, each selling for thousands of dollars. She was an artist. But she was also a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a friend.
She was humble, and honest. She never drank, smoked or lied. She is for sure in Heaven with God and the other angels now.
I have to be happy knowing she is no longer in pain. The cancer is no longer eating at her. I got to give her one last hug before she passed and told her how much I loved her and how I didn't know what I was going to do with my lunch breaks back. I told her that she was so important to me and that I am just like her. I have her smile, her hair, her boobs (so I'm told...her younger version of corse) I told her it was ok to let go. That we would be down here on earth for her to watch over.

I will always hold a place in my heart for her. Love you Grandma!
