We got home from our cruise - unpacked, did laundry, visited with the Olivers, worked a full day and then just over 24 hours later were on a plane to Regina. Matt's Grannie Kaminski went to be with the Lord the previous Friday after battling with ALS for a year. Grannie was a remarkable woman and lived a beautiful life, even as she battled with one of life's most horrific diseases.
Best Friends - Papa and Grannie
This picture was taken a year ago when Matt and I returned home from Africa. Grannie was not yet diagnosed with ALS but wasn't feeling 100% at the time - however despite that they made the drive from Regina to Lloyd so that they could see us and welcome us home.
Our time in Regina was well spent. It was so good to see family and of course celebrate Grannie's life. She planned her own funeral and it spoke of her humble nature, it was not focused on her but on her Lord - it was beautiful. Grannie was well loved - the funeral was huge, hundreds of cards were sent and meal upon meal was dropped off.
I didn't take very many pictures of our time in Regina - here is one of the final day we were there - the Kaminski men playing a rousing game of Scrabble on the deck.
Papa concentrating hard on his next move.
Us with Mom and Dad K right before they dropped us off at the airport.
We were blessed to have a long lay over in Calgary and met Mom and Dad M for coffee!
Grannie will be missed by all who knew her, but we rest in knowing that she is in heaven and we will see her again someday! She left a legacy here on earth that will remain for years and years to come!
