In the middle of February, in the middle of all sorts of other things going on in our life, it was time for my Grandma Darlene to move to Arizona after 50 years in California. It was an emotional change for me. She has never been further than an hour away for all the time I've lived in America (minus BYU years). We've been through her ups and downs, my ups and downs and borne each other's burdens. She has enjoyed watching my kids grow and has been there for school awards, ballet performances, baby blessings etc. when neither set of grandparents could be there due to distance. So she has been the one grandparent (even though she's a great) that has always been here. It is good timing for her to go, but we will miss her.

I am so glad you have had such a close relationship with her! What a treat! I don't like good-byes, but it's always good to treasure the times you've shared. How neat!
