Going to Virginia

There are so many out there mourning my grandmother's passing because she touched so many people's lives. 
Nanny was a down to earth (grand & great grand) mother, and care giver. She was determined, honest, strong-minded, and loving. 
The way in which she raised children was pretty much the definition of tough love.
Talking to several people, I think it's safe to say that her passing away was practically a life changing event; all of our hearts broke a bit upon hearing the news. 
We love you, Nanny.

Our taxi to the airport should be here in a little under an hour. My husband can't make it, but my son is coming along. 
Nanny's service is set for tomorrow at 11am at the church she frequented. Tonight, we're going to my aunts house to prepare a 'picture board'. Yesterday, I shuffled through all of the Facebook photographs I have of her, then picked up the prints from Walgreens last night. 




I cry, then stop, then cry some more. What did it for me this morning was the thought of them doing an open casket. Not sure what's going to happen, but to see her again would be good for me, I think.
