Brad's Grandma Hiatt passed away on June 11, 2008. Brad and I were able to go down to Payson and attend her funeral. This was a hard concept for Kaitlyn and Melanie to grasp. Kaitlyn was full of questions. One question that I thought was kind of cute was when she asked me, "mom, will Great grandma go wet and mess in heaven?" She was genuinely concerned about it too. Grandma's death gave us a great opportunity to teach our kids once again about death and how we can live together forever in eternity. Sweet Melanie was over joyed to see Brad's mom at the viewing on Sunday night, I can't help but think that she thought we were going to see her in the coffin and was just ecstatic to see her alive. I am so glad that my children got to know great grandma even if it was for a short time. She is truly a great example to us in enduring to the end and keeping a positive attitude. She had the cutest moto of "no matter what challenges we face, it could be so much worse. I am so blessed." We can't even imagine her homecoming with her husband and son and are sure that she was overjoyed to see them.
