Some of you may know that this past week we lost my grandmother Hazel Graves, but to us she was always "Ma". She went into the hospital Saturday night was placed on a ventilator and then had to be resuscitated and experienced loss of brain function. It was advised to us that we withdraw life support and so as a family the decision was made and as right as it was it was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. We all were there when she left this earth and were at her bedside until the very end. It was so emotionally taxing and heartbreaking. But we all are celebrating her life and knowing that she is in heaven smiling down on us and no longer in pain. This is a picture of Ma at my wedding 2 years ago after she got her hair and makeup done by a professional and she was showing off like she was the belle of the ball. It was so funny! But that was Ma. She will be missed and Camden will know all about his Ma and even though they never met, she was very excited about a new great grandbaby. She loved Walker and would play with him and laugh with him whenever he was around her. I have been reliving all the funny stories about Ma with my cousins and my mom, aunt, and uncle and so her memory will live on. She will be extremely missed and a hole is left in all of our hearts for this little 85 pound redheaded fireball that was "Ma".
