Thankful Thursday – Goodbye Aunt Johnnie

Aunt Johnnie

My Grammie’s Aunt Johnnie died yesterday. She was 100 years old. Many of you sent cards for her 100th birthday party that we attended in November in Clifton, Texas. The photo above is from the birthday party and I had it up before on the post about the 100 year old with the 1 year old. My Grammie summed it up by saying that she was a good example to all her relatives and a really neat person. Grammie said that she spent her last 2 days telling all the nurses and nurses aides thank you for taking good care of her and planning the last details of her funeral.

I am thankful that I got to visit her a couple times in the last year and most of all that she was such an important person in my Grammie’s life. My Grammie is so important to me and my heart hurts for her today because she lost Aunt Johnnie.

There are lots of other things I am thankful for this week, but I prefer to leave this post as a tribute to Aunt Johnnie and the great love that she showed for all the “kids” in her life like my Grammie 🙂
