This is a picture of her in her favorite BYU jacket sitting around the camp fire at the Huish ranch last year. I wish I had taken more pictures of her.

A really crapy week!
This week has been really long and terribly sad for me and my family. Andy was gone out of town all week and I worked over 40 hours between Wednesday and Sunday. We had a ton of babysitters and help from neighbors juggling our kids. Then Saturday morning about 6:30am my dad called to say that my Gran had passed away earlier that day, then he called back a little later to ask me to give a talk at the funeral on her life. I am such a cry baby I don't know how I will make it through a talk, there are so many little things that remind me of her and I have been a little bit of an emotional mess this weekend. I know she is happy and so excited to be reunited with Grandad, but she will be soooo missed here! Sometimes life is just too hard and all I want to do today is crawl in my bed and stay there for awhile! I am so greatful for the plan of salvation and the knowledge that I have of eternal families, I know I will see her again and that we can all be together forever. Thank heaven for families!

I'm so sorry to hear that! please let me know if I can do anything to help....really.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Death is so hard to deal with even when you know you will someday see them again. You are great for excepting the call to give a talk. I would in no way be able to talk about any love one at a funeral. I am such a cry baby no one would understand me. Good luck, our prayers are with your family.
So Sorry! I need to stop being such a loser friend so I can hear about your crappy weeks from YOU and not off your blog. Sounds like you are in need of another girls night out... and maybe you will actually come to the WHOLE thing! :) Let me know if I can do anything for you.
luv ya,
Anne
Whitney, lots of love being sent your way during this life experience. May your grandmother be welcomed swiftly by her dear husband. Can you imagine spending this life without our other halves? Hug Andy! And know you are the perfect one to honor her life by giving a talk. Hugs from Calif.
First of all Whitney when I saw the title of your blog I burst out laughing because today royally sucked for me and I was thinking the same thought when I read your title. Second, I am so sorry about your grandmother. I lost my grandmother 14 years ago and I still miss her. In fact, Camille has her middle name and sometimes I feel her close. Be grateful for the wonderful memories you have. You'll do great speaking--you're awesome. We need to do lunch again when things settle down for you. Call me
I am sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Sorry Whit! Funerals are definitely one way to remind us of whats really important in life! See...forget the stupid diets! EAT, Drink, and be merry! Hope all is well, you'll see her again:)
You need a "twighlight" night for sure!
