As most of you may already know, my grandma past away yesterday. She has been bed ridden since August when she broke her hip, again. We thought her days were limited in August but boy did she prove us all wrong. My sister Cindi has been taking care of her and built a great bond with her. It was sad to see her life confined to a bed so we are happy to know she is in heaven enjoying her mobility once again but it is hard to know she is know longer with us. She has been apart of the Christensen household in Mesa for over 10 years since my parents added on an apartment suite to their house for Grandma. 
In May 2002, when Mark, Mary, Kimberly, and I were all graduating from NAU, everyone was up in Flagstaff for our graduation, including Grandma. That night, Grandma fell and cracked open her skull and had to have emergency surgery. She never really fully recovered from that fall but I am glad she was able to make it to my college graduation and wedding. She was always a big part of our family and we will miss her but know she is happy with Grandpa, Beathoven, and Chavez. My graduation picture with my family has always been one of my favorite pictures. It is kept in the entertainment center. Now when I look at it sitting on the shelf, it will mean so much more! These pictures were only a month apart but by looking at Grandma, you would have never guessed it. It is times like these that I am grateful to know the true meaning of life and know that one day I will be able to see her again. We love you Big G!
