Dear God, Aunty. Granny and my mama within days. Maybe they traveled the beam of light together? How wonderful for your family that there is a new baby...that is a kind of order to nature that heals the sorrow of loss. I am so sorry about granny cracker. My prayers are with you. DId granny cracker get to see the new baby? was she actually waiting to see this child?

Know that Granny is in a much better place and cherish the time you had with her.
Auntie, I'm so sorry, but I am very glad Granny got her way and was able to wait for the tribe baby to be born. I feel for you and Chickory so much, it is so difficult to lose your mom, no matter what age you are in life. Peace and love to you and your family.
Morning Aunty Belle,
Godspeed to Granny, may she rest in peace. I know these past months have been hard on both of you. Now that she is a rest, perhaps you can get some too. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Glad to hear that she was able to make it long enough to know of the new arrival. She was one tough lady.
Heaven must have needed two wonderful Momma's. :-(
Thank you for sharing her with us Aunty. I've admired your devotion to her and I think you're a wonderful daughter.
And congrats to the new baby in your lives.
You're in my prayers. xoxox
You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. My prayers are with you.

Take care of yourself too while you are taking care of all the kin.

My sincere condolences Aunty.
The circle of life can be bitterly painful.
Holding you and chickory in my prayers...
thoughts and prayers with you Aunty. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. x.
Peace be with you all.
But Aunty,
I seriously hope this is not the end of the Granny Cracker chronicles. I suspect there are many to be told and I've loved them all to date.
Right smart angels to bring the baby afore fetching Granny :-)
So sorry to hear of Granny's passing from this world, kind thoughts to those of you grieving her loss. Blessings on the new one in your family.

"Traveled the beam of light..." A dear thought! Youse a poet. Ya know Aunty grieves fer yore own loss--it's a vacuum that woan ever fill again when yore Mama leaves this plane. t'would be unbearable lessen we knowed they's free of pain an' now dwell in pure joy.
Oh yes, Granny waited fer the wee one to git here...good thang that young'un came two weeks early, cause Granny were holdin' on, but barely. All us'uns believe we's had a heavenly exchange.

The photo of the newborn holding the adult

at both ends of life.

And congrats on the new baby, Aunty, a heavenly exchange indeed. Enjoy the wake and eat loads, granny would have liked that. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxxo
My deepest condolences, Aunty. I loved every one of your Granny posts and hope that you can find some comfort in this time of loss. Which is also one of gain, so congratulations as well on your family's new addition. And, I love the idea of your mama and Chickory's bumping into each other as they embark on the next part of their journey.
Aunty,
I don't think Jambalaya is one of their dishes ... yet.
I have sampled or helped cook a bunch of their dishes, and I caint member any Jambalaya in all the other deliciousness.
She is most definitely dancing with Angels. =)
I am so very sorry the loss of your Mother.
My thoughts are with you & yours.
I am sorry for your loss and send you and your family my condolences.
It sounds like she live and moved on on her own terms, whjen she was ready too.
You are all so kind--and how odd, isn't it, that the messages from bloggers I've never met mean so much?
Thanky from the bottom of mah heart.
I want to respond to each of y'all, but much to do, family arrivin'...an today mah time is so short.
Hope each of ya has a wonderful lovely LIFE filled weekend.
Dear Aunty, take care as you deal with all of your the family, the arrangements, and the freshness of your loss. I hope there's an abundance of comfort food as your clan gathers - and that it honors Granny in a way she would be proud. There's some grilled cheese and seafood and a bit of a dedication to you and Granny up over at my place whenever you have the time (yep, it's one of my long posts, and way down at the end).
Hugs, eggy
I am so sorry for your loss. Granny sounded like quite the scrapper. I bet she could cook up a storm. As for comfort, Chicken and Dumplings is about the best comfort I can offer. It also works for welcoming a new member of the Tribe. How wonderful with a new little spring baby.
I wish you peace.

Just stopping by to see how you are doing ... love and peace to you and the family.
HI Aunty, I put up a post in honor of you and Granny (And Chickory and her mum too) Come on by if you want. xoxoxo
Well, I'm late gettin' here as usual Aunty but I wanted to leave my sincere condolences to you. I'm very sorry for your loss and wish you peace and comfort.
