Just wanted to share

[Lissett]

My grandmother Pilar died this morning.

I flew out to Florida yesterday. My entire family was there, already.

Pilar yesterday, was not really speaking, and not opening her eyes.

The Miracle is/was that my best friend, my grandmother, had been with Leukemia for a long while.

She did not suffer ever.

Anyway, My grandmother, wanted me tell you guys, that she felt all your prayers. So I said I would tell you all, thank you on her behalf.

I walked in to her room, yesterday, and she opened her eyes, and smiled. We had a religious ceremony.

The priest was already there. I climbed into bed with her, and we spent the night holding hands, and talking.

She told me so many beautiful things.

She is proud of me, and as long as SHE is proud, then I know I can hold my head up high.

I woke up really early, the priest came over to anoint her, and she did her confession.

Everyone came in the room, and was hugging her and kissing her.

No tears.

I came in, and said well, are you ready?

And she said yes, i want to see my son Jose, (who had passed away)
And your grandfather, in heaven.

I said to her ok, do you want me to leave or sit here with you.

She patted her hand on the bed, and I held her hand, and sat.

I gave her a big fat smooch.

And she turned her head, while smiling, and she never woke up again.

She will be cremated, and her ashes will go back to Cuba, and she will be sprinkled over the beach, where my grandfather and her met, when she was 16.

She told me before passing, that she felt all your prayers, and I promised I would let you guys know.

I am back home. I am ok.

thank you

How glorious and beautiful blessing you received in sharing Pilar's passing on to glory. She was truly blessed to have been lucid until passing, a gift from God to a faithful angel.

I am sorry for your loss and pain.

I am thrilled for Pilar...what a celebration she must be having!

Lis,

This is very sad but very nice at the same time. I'm glad you and your grandmother got to spend some time together. I think this will bring you peace during this tough time. We buried my grandfather on my 19th birthday. I will never forget the time I spent with him in the hospital before he passed away.

My condolences to you and your family.

Lissett,

I'm sorry for your loss and happy that you had such a woman for your grandmother. Glad you got to spend time with her. Of course she is proud of you.

Don't stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint in the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
In the soft blush of the morning light
I am the swift bird in flight.
Don't stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.

Sad...yes, for those still here.

Beautiful...yes, for Pilar and you...and now for us because you shared.

Sounds like a joyous life and a joyouse death--she knew how to embrace the journey.

We love you Lisset; we're here for you.

Lis,

Thank you for sharing the love and devotion you have with your Grandmother, Pilar. Your post really touched my heart and soul. I know your loss is as great as the love you shared. I do understand how difficult it had to have been to let go of her, so that she may find her way home, and focus on the blessing she was bestowed.

I too, lost my Grandmother while here, not so long ago, and know of the prayers and support given by the people that come here. Know that you are held in our hearts and prayers.

God Bless,

Love,

May God bless both of you.
