I love this picture!

Although at first glance, it appears that Gramma is napping, along with little Johnny, if you look carefully, you can see her smiling.

She's loving the fact that her grandson is sleeping on her lap. She finally gets a chance to just hold him and be with him without having to crawl on the floor and play cars!

It was her great-grandson, actually. And it was the only time they ever met. She was nearly blind at this point, but yes, she loved this moment.

When we left later that day, she stood at the gate outside her house. She turned and she sighed with a pain she couldn't hide. And then she blew me kisses goodbye.

It was the last time I saw my grandma alive.
