This is my twosome...
... this is the twins and Grandma Carol. This is Jason's Grandma. Grandma Carol had twins of her own that died shortly after birth. They were small, and born way to early. Their names were Judith and Joanne.
Carol was so excited for us to have twins. She anxiously awaited the 9mo til they were born. She made the trek to the hospital to visit us just after they were born. With help from her daughter Deb, she held both girls at the same time, long enough for a picture.
This is the ONLY picture I have of Grandma Carol with the twins.
Grandma Carol had a mass in her lungs and opted to not do anything about it. She lived long enough to see the twins be born. Something she hung in there for.
She passed away on Jan 25. Her son's birthday. 3 weeks exactly after the twins were born.
I sure do miss her and I am saddened to think the twins will never get to know her. I had the pleasure of always knowing her as she is my Grandma's best friend (and had been since my Grandma was 2). I also got to work with Carol at Clayberg Nursing Home... long before I met Jason!
I hope you enjoyed my story about Grandma Carol. Now click on over to Eight is Great and play along!
