I just found out yesterday that my husbands grandmother passed away. I don't know the details yet and didn't even know she was ill. I will hopefully find out more tomorrow.

This hurts....I so wish I could be with Florin during this time of sadness and loss. He spent his summers with his grandparents growing up on the farm. He was very close to his grandma and I know his heart is hurting right now.

Being so very far away really sucks and even more at times like this. I got to meet his grandma a couple of years ago and was struck by how life had hardened her and aged her before her time. Living in the small towns of Romania, life is difficult....even though it's the only life she's ever known and never complained because she knew no different.

She had beautiful blue eyes.....they danced when she smiled. She cooked a nice meal for us (we showed up unexpectedly) and seemed very happy that Florin came to visit and brought me too. I don't think she had ever met anyone from the US before. Since I don't really speak Romanian, we couldn't communicate much. But I do remember the look on her face and a smile from ear to ear when I thanked her for the meal in Romanian and also mentioned that her homemade wine was "foarte buna" (very good)!

While our time together was short, I feel blessed to have met her.

(((((((((((((((((( Florin ))))))))))))))))))))) My thoughts and prayers are with you my love.

I'm so sorry for your loss and can't imagine how you feel right now...not being able to be there to comfort him.

You're both in my thoughts and prayers.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jean}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry for you and Florin's loss. Your hubby is from the same stock as his grandma. No doubt that he'll be okay. Still, I know how difficult it is when you can't give/receive comfort at this time.

Thank you all so very much. And Florin thanks you too!

He is strong, he will get through this without me by his side. He knows I am with him in spirit and thought, in prayer and in love.

You've all helped me feel a bit better.

Sabby,

My prayers are with your husband & his family (& definitely with you). It is hard when you can't be there to give the support you so much have inside to give.

I am glad that you had a chance to meet her when you were there 2 years ago so that you have a memory of who & what kind of woman she was. Those memories are always wonderful to hold onto.

I remember the summer when I was pregnant with my daughter......my husband & I drove from California to Michigan to see some of his family....especially his grandmother who was in a nursing home. I hadn't told anyone about my being pregnant, but she gave me a clown doll for a future child.......My daughter got that doll knowing is was from her great-grandma she never got a chance to know.

Meeting family & getting to know them (even with a language barrier) is a wonderful memory for future time of sharing & rememberance later on in life.

No matter how strong we are, loosing a family member is not easy, so my prayers are with your husband for strength & peace,
Debbie

i am so sorry....you are in my thoughts and my heart....give lots of hugs over the phone or email to him from us....and give yourself lots of hug from us too....such a shame to have to loose someone so special.

((((((((((((((( eskie & inny )))))))))))))))) Thank you dears very much for your love and support.

I spoke with my husband tonight and things went as well as could be expected at gram's funeral. I found out she died of a massive heart attack...it was quick and painless. I thank God for that as I would hate to think of her suffering. I also found out she had been not doing too well with some liver issues and was on meds for that problem. It's possible the meds increased her heart attack risk

I have never heard my husband's voice sound angry or sad like I did today. It broke my heart into a million pieces that I couldn't be there to hold him. It took everything I had to hold back the tears at work while I was talking to him. So now they flow......quickly so I'll end this update.

Thank you all again for your friendship and understanding. I love you very much.
