in a very real way

Word of the Day: sashay I just got the message that my grandmother died this morning. Wow. It really hurts to write that. -addendum- I just talked to my family in Louisiana, and my grandfather told me she died in her sleep and she wasn't complaining about anything last night. Thank God is was painless. --addendum-- Also, apparantly my little nephew Evan [JD's sister's four month old son] is deaf. I've always wanted to learn sign language.

i'm so sorry ash. sudden deaths are so hard, but i'm glad it was painless. i'm praying for you.
I actually know that if I had a child that was deaf, I would not be upset at all. I minored in Sign language, and I know a lot about deaf culture, and would be proud to be a part of that... I think it would be great for you to learn sign language. I think that it is a very beautiful language! Not to mention there have been scientific studies done, that show if you teach your baby sign language before they can talk, that they will be happier ->
babies, because they can express themselves and what they want, before they can with words! I know some people who have done this, and it was amazing! I plan on teaching my kids sign langauge!
Ashley, you are always in my prayers...

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face

And the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Aw, sorry to hear about your grandma, and nephew. Living your life deaf sucks.
It's good your grandma died painlessly. =)
I am sorry for your loss, but when I die, I would love to go like that. May she rest in peace.

Hey, that sister your talking about, is that Laura? I haven't talked to her in years...man I miss her...if it is, tell her I said Hi and I know she is a strong woman and can take on anything God lays before her. On another note, sorry about your Grandma. My mom called me last week from Texas and told me that my grandma has fluid on her brain and she might not make it but i'm not close with her so i guess it didnt really effect me.
Sooo sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing. Our prayers are with you. Call if u need anything, anytime. Mom H.
