Grace is Gone...

After a very long day, that started with one of the kids having a bad (and that doesn't really do it justice) morning, and requiring Stevie to carry and lead him into the building screaming and a mother who was dropping her kid off and seeing this telling Janice that she was going straight to the BOE to report this behavior...not knowing of course that the child's mother had just told Stevie to take him inside...and having to rearrange coverage for Stevie's first group of the morning (thank you Connie for being available and flexible...again!)...
The kids were really good, though and they really do realize that this is just part of who this child is and they forget it as soon as it is over and treat him as just a part of the family...gotta love that about little kids.
Then we went to visit with a friend's mom who is battling cancer/a brain tumor and can't really be left alone.   She's a trooper, but cancer is just such a beastly thing...sad.


As I pull into the drive way, my little husband yells for me to hurry, so I run up the steps to find my golden Gracie girl laying on her side having just had a massive heart attack or something...dead...gone...
I called her other favorite person, Stevie, and she came....
We just finished burying her.
Coming home without her to greet us ...
Mercy is missing her...
The spot beside me where she always slept...empty....
Photos tomorrow...Grace was a special girl!
Night.
