Grandma Betty

My Grandma Betty passed away this Monday.  It came as quite a shock to me.  She had diabetes, but I didn't think she was deathly ill with it.  I got a call and an email from my mother Monday morning around 9:30 saying that Betty was in the hospital since Thursday night and that she had an infection the doctors could not figure out.  Latter that very day I got a phone call a little after noon and it again was my mother telling me my Grandmother had passed away.  I was in shock.  As the day went on I got more and more upset about it.  Mainly upset that I didn't get to spend too much time with her.  While growing up she either was living in North Carolina or Texas so she wasn't that close to me.

Betty Hunt was an amazing soul.  She was VERY religious.  Something that I am really not, but I can totally respect it in other people.  She never looked down upon me for the stupid stuff I did, and never forced her religion upon me. Just shared stories with me on how God helped her out.  I dig that.  She reminded me of a big kid in her older age, like she had an innocence to her.  One of the last few times I remember seeing her was in Ohio at my folks house last summer I believe? Her diabetes was not doing too well.  She loved sweets, so she was eating these frozen sugar free popcicles that we used to eat as a kid and I just found it the cutest thing ever.

So to celebrate her life I am going to buy some sugar free popcicles this week and eat them in honor of my wonderful Grandma Betty...   I love you Betty Hunt.
