Today my wonderful, beloved Grandma Riskedahl passed on from this life to her next. My heart is so sad at the thought of coming home to ND next time and her not being here in her house sitting in her chair sharing her wonderful sense of humor with us all. She has always lived just 3 miles down the road from me and has been a wonderful influence in my life. Just in the past month has she gone down hill 
and just last Wednesday we learned her condition was terminal. It has been shocking to come home this time and see the condition she was in all of a sudden. I'm so grateful that I was able to be here and hold her hand one more time and now be her to celebrate her life Saturday at her funeral. She was very sedated yesterday but still as I held her hand it was so warm and she squeezed to hold on so she knew we were there and loving her. I am grateful to have just arrived at the nursing home this afternoon just 15 minutes after her passing to hug her once more. I love her so much and will miss her more than words can describe.
