My sweet mother in law passed away this morning. Peacefully in her bed. And I am so grateful I had the opportunity to visit with her much more than normal over the past month. This woman greeted me with open arms into her family. She treated my children just like her blood related grandchildren. She taught me so very much in the 17 years I’ve been in this family. She raised 7 of the most amazing children in this world. She taught school for 19 1/2 years. She loves unconditionally. Even when someone disappoints her. She taught me that material things don’t matter, when Jake crashes into her bell collection and they all came crashing on the tile floor, her first words were,, “are you ok Jacob?” He was scared he was going to get in trouble and above his dad and I freaking out we could hear Gramma say “ it’s just stuff, are you ok?” She helped me through the last 4 years more than she will ever know. She made sure I knew that I was still a Johnson. No questions. Even when I tried to hide from the world she would call me and tell me she loves me, and I needed to come for dinner. When Mom tells you to come,, you come. ❤️💜 we would walk into her house and I would flop on her bed and we just talked about anything and everything. We laughed. We cried. She wipes my tears and made sure I knew she loved me. So this morning I walked into her home and I flopped on her bed and just laid beside her and held her hand, and told her I loved her one more time.
I’m going to miss her. I already do. And I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous that she gets to see Todd and Levi again. Hug them for me please Mom. And thank you for loving me.
I promise I’m not squishing her!!!
