A year ago today was very bittersweet for me. I was grieving the loss of my Granny, while thanking God for the birth of twins to someone who deserved it so much. I was sitting here waiting for my grandmother to die. It was pretty terrible knowing that nearly my entire family was gathered in a room in MS waiting for the same thing but I was here, unable to tell her one more time how much I loved her. She knew though. Afterall I was her favorite so of course I loved her. I hate that my children were so young when she died. They remember her now but eventually they will have no memories of their own. Just memories I've told them or pictures they've seen.
At nearly the exact same time that my Granny was taking her final breath, a long time friend of mine (Eva) was welcoming her twins via a surrogate. After her breast cancer diagnosis, she was able to freeze a few embryos for later implantation. The embryos were frozen for 2.5 years and on May 10, 2010 they were born into this world. Today they are happy, heathy 1 year olds! I'm so proud of Eva for kicking cancer's butt and for not letting it keep her from having these babies.
While I'm still very sad that my Granny isn't here, I'm so thankful to have had her for 30 years.
