Hey guys,

My Nana, Peg, is currently in the hospital right now fighting pneumonia.  It's basically going to take a miracle for her to recover.  

This is the same woman who went on Medusa at SFDK last October with me and my entire family, and if I can figure it out, I'll post the picture here--Stingray, maybe you can educate me!! LOL.  It's great to see an 81 year old woman on a roller coaster!!

All I'm asking is that, if you are of the praying persuasion, could you please put in a prayer or two for my Nana and strength for my family.  Her 3 kids are all here together right now, so they need strength and wisdom for the very tough decisions that they are having to make.

Anyway, Sorry to bring the mood down in the room, I'm just trying to cover all bases!

xoxo,
shannon

May strength and love hold your family together though this tough time.  Take heart that all of us have your family in our prayers.
And no problem, willing to lend my photo tips whenever you need them.

Quote:
God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered “Come to me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us,
He only takes the best.


I saw this poem the other day and I felt it perfectly summed up how I felt about everything.  

My Nana is (I won't say was) a vibrant beautiful spirit that she insisted on passing on to all of us.  In fact, there are parts of me that are so indelibly her that often I feel like I channel her spirit through me.  She was strong, independent, never afraid to speak her mind and loved and accepted everyone, faults and all.  These are values that she instilled in me, as well as all of her children and grandchildren.  I was fortunate to be able to spend 30 years of my life with her, building memories and a foundation that I hope to pass along to my sons and maybe a daughter one day.  

I was able to be in the room as she breathed her last breath, and her heart beat its last beat.  Other than the births of my own children, and being present at the births of my brother and sister, it was the most incredible life experience I have ever had the honor of being a part of.  

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.  Thank you so much for the e-card!!  You guys are really great.  It feels so nice to know that there are people out there who you don't even "know" who care and think about you and wish the best for you.  

I'll miss her deeply and dearly, but I know I'll see her "soon."  We are only guests here on this planet, and one day we leave, leaving our marks for the rest of our little portion of the world to feel.  Let's make sure we all leave the kind of mark that builds others up, that gives hope to others.  That's what Nana Peg did.
