Received a wedding gift from my deceased great grandmother today

Wow, how sweet of her! That's very special!

Awww! That's awesome!

Well kind of... My grandmothers tradition is to embroider a pattern onto 7 dish towels for each of her grandkids. When she got arthritis and knew she wouldn't be able to do it anymore she asked each of the moms of the unwed grandkids what we'd like embroidered. At my shower she presented me with the towels embroidered with puppies and days of the week. I cried because I was sad I wouldn't be getting her "traditional" gift every grandkid has gotten. But she planned ahead and it's something money can't replace!

Awwww very sweet.

I still can't get over the note from her. (Please disregard the messy table in the background!)

Beth I seriously cried reading your card. That was beautiful. Although my grandmother isn't with us anymore, my niece is named after her. In the beginning they told my sister that she was having a miscarriage. Luckily, she didn't and continued on with her pregnancy. Two weeks early my sister was told that the baby was in distress and not getting enough nutrients and would have to be delivered by csection that day. She was a healthy, screaming 5lbs 5ounces baby girl who just turned 1 year old last week. Honestly she is my Nana through and through and I know Nana is looking down on Leona and watching out for her and that's my present right there.

Omg seriously this post and comments are going to make me cry

Wow, this is incredibly sweet! What a beautiful card. Tears!

That's pretty awesome and so heartfelt from her to prepare this for you!!!

All of the tears. All your stories were wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

So beautiful! Makes me miss my grandma even more.

Already feeling kind of melancholy tonight, didn't make it even a sentence into the card before crying. What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do!

That is so sweet such a wonderful and thoughtful gift.

That is so sweet and special! I was very close to my grandmother but she passed many years ago. At my baby shower, the last gift I opened was a baby blanket my grandma had made (she always made them for every baby born in the family). It was a total surprise. My mom had held on to it for me for many years. I balled my eyes out in front of the whole party haha pregnancy hormones didn't help, but I couldn't get over I had something her hands made that I could wrap my baby in. He was wrapped up in it from the day he was born and still sleeps with it

That is sooo sweet. Very special for her to think of all these things in her last days.

Love this. So special!

Wow that is so so special.

Cried reading your card! So sweet! And @futuremrssaraza we just lost my grandma recently. Her name was also Leona. I'll be wearning her original wedding band.

So so sweet..what a special and beautiful gift for you!

We got a silverware set from FH's granny who just passed 3 weeks ago. She was already on hospice and we knew she probably wouldn't make it, but we sent a STD anyways. FH's aunt who was taking care of her said she really needed that because she was having a few bad days.
