My Grandma Malmberg passed away early Monday morning. I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with her at the hospital the day before (even though she was not coherent). It's hard to lose someone you love, but I know she is much happier now. As I was explaining to David that Great Grandma Walmart (that's what he calls her) was sick and was gonna go to heaven to live with Great Grandpa and Heavenly Father and Jesus, his reply was, "I don't want Great Grandma to be sick anymore...Can I go see Jesus too?" I love the innocence of little children!
