I am just returning from Idaho for the second time within a six month period. Six months ago my grandpa died and just last week my grandma died. This has been really hard on me. My grandparents were so awesome. I thought they would live forever. Seriously, they were so full of life. I just took for granted that they would always be around.
I hate funerals. I am such an emotional person. I cry when I see others crying. So going to a funeral for someone I love is so hard for me. But I was calm at my grandmas funeral because I was able to talk to her on the phone and tell her how much I love her. I didn't get that with my grandpa so I had a much harder time at his funeral. I am so thankful for their example of love. They truly loved each other. They were always holding hands. When I was thinking about them dying 6 months apart, it is kind of romantic. Sad for us who are left behind but now they are together again. It is comforting to me knowing that I will see them again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. What a blessing for her though, to only be separated for 6 months. That's the way to do it. Short. Our prayers are with you & your family. I'm sure your mom is really struggling.
Steph, my jaw dropped when I read about your grandma. and then i thought, "of course she is gone, they/she couldn't be apart from him any longer." I can't believe they are both gone now. So sorry for you & your fam. It so hard to be left behind. Give your mom a HUGE hug from me. Her parents were the real thing. absolute gems!
Steph, I have the same feelings. Grandma and Grandpa Lystrup were so super I thought they would live forever. When I was little I dreamed my dad would design a house for grandpa to build. Being halfway across the world not able to make it to the funeral it is hard for it to sink in that Grandma is gone, but it is a great love story. They loved eachother so much. I, like you, admire there relationship and am glad they are back together. The selfish me is sad that my future children will not know them in this life but there will be plenty of embelished stories to share I am sure. :) Love from the middle of the Pacific, Allison
