Sunday night my phone went off and my heart fell.
It was my dad and I knew that if he was calling me that late, something bad had happened.
I was actually relieved to here that Grandma had fallen, but wasn't in eminent danger.
This woman is where I get my entire being from, so the thought of losing her is impossible to fathom. I've decided she has to outlive me.

Come to find out, she had a little spill in Target and ended up with a broken Humerus in her shoulder. Besides the fact that she's in her eighty's, she just recently got off preventative chemo and that is probably what weakened her bones.
I'm just thankful that it hasn't weakened her spirit.
Grandma on the left and Aunt Boots on the right.
I already lost one grandmother to breast cancer (before I was even born), and that's another reason that I hold on to this one so tight. In both of my grandmothers honor, I am proud to say that I am part of a giveaway on Erin's blog for Pinktober! It is all about spreading awareness and supporting Komen For The Cure, so go enter and spread the word!
Feel better soon, Grandma, and I'll talk to you when you are off the Lortab.
Love you!

Aren't grandmothers the best!! I miss mine to pieces. That last picture of you two with aunt boots is too cute!!
I'm glad she's going to be ok! Wonderful photos.
So glad she's ok! She looks like so much fun! Any grandma that will pose in sunglasses with you is a rockstar in my book :)
I decided a long time ago that my grannie has to outlive me.
I'm glad to hear that she's alright and in good spirits! Stuff like this can be so scary and put things into perspective (even in times when you thought you had perspective...if that makes sense). Keeping good vibes flowing her way! :)
LOVe and hugs to your grandma!!! She sounds like an amazing lady!
xoxo
Grams are so precious! I was devastated when mine passed away 6 months ago! Hope she feels better soon. Thinking and praying for her and your family!
Oh no Grandma! I'm glad she is ok:)
And yes, grandmothers should definitely outlive us;)
Glad that it was just a little tumble! Hope she heals quickly! Hugs to you!
You are absolutely, without-a-doubt, the biggest sweetheart. What a touching post! I am extremely close to my family, but especially to my grandparents because I have the most amazing memories of growing up with them. I loved this, and even teared up a little bit. 100% agree on them having to outlive us! It's a must :)

So glad to hear that your grandma is staying strong, praying for a speedy recovery! :)
So glad she's okay! She looks/sounds like a very feisty woman!
This is sweet. I just lost my grandma last week and it was so tough. I'm glad your grandma is OK! Sending good thoughts her way for a speedy recovery :) xoxo
Glad she's ok-I'll be keeping her in my prayers this week. She'll be better in no time :)
I hope she feels better so fast. She is adorable. I love that last photo!!
So glad she is ok. I'm down to one grandma as well and it's great but sad too. I'm sorry you never got to meet your other one.
This is so sweet and I'm glad she's okay! I used to have a pretty close relationship with my grandma too! She is still alive and kicking (thank goodness) but she isn't always lucid enough to know who I am and or what's going on. I still hug her tight though :)
My thoughts & prayers go out to your grandma for a fast recovery! :)

So glad she's okay and hope she continues to improve and get better fast. I have never actually known my grandmothers but I understand that for people who are close to them it's like a second mom. It's so great you have that special relationship.
Thinking about you girl! Hope she is better soon!!

I wish her a quick recovery! She sounds like quite a spritely woman for her age though!
PS heading to check out the Pinktober giveaway!
I never met my paternal grandparents :( my maternal grandfather passed before i was even born... or he went missing in the woods back in his homeland... i have only met my maternal grandmother, even then, we didn't get much time w/ her b/c we are the eldest of grandchildren and she spends a lot of time w/ my other cousins... whom are all under the age of 18!! both my folks are the oldest of their siblings. i think this is why my dad values family so much.
hope your grandma is feeling better today! xoxo all my love!!!
Thank god she's ok!!!! I'm super close w my grandma or nanny as I call her too. I love her to pieces. I hateeeee when my phone rings late night too.
So glad to hear that your Grandma is okay! My grandma is my everything, too so I can relate to you :)
My grandma has to outlive me, too! haha!
