Our adventure started in November when Vi called to take us up on our offer for her and Joe to come and live with us in Cleveland, Ohio. We started our journey in January when we all moved into a new home perfect for blending our two families together. It was complete with first floor bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and extra bedrooms for out of town visitors who might make their way to visit Vi and Joe. I had imagined what it was going to be like to finally live close to them. Summer in Cleveland can be fun, there would be free concerts, at Legacy Village, Shaker Square, and Wade Oval. Summer would not be complete without Parade the Circle, Forth-of-July Cleveland Orchestra concert at public square with fireworks and laser show. But none of those things would happen as I imagined, the diagnosis of cancer changed everything. Instead, Joe and Vi followed the new plan set out for them by a team of Doctors. She was brave and did her best to keep moving forward. There was a time just as her treatment was starting that she told me that she always thought of me as a sister. I was so touched by these words, we had known each other for 33 years....but I did not know if I was worthy of such a place in her heart. As I move forward I know life's best laid plans sometimes do not work out...but I would not have had this tender memory of Vi if she hadn't made the that phone call, if she hadn't taken the journey across the country to touch my heart. I love you Vi.

Grandma Vi loved Grandpa Joe so much. Even if they were in the middle of an argument she could change her mind immediately and start laughing it off. I can remember hearing Grandma and Grandpa disagreeing on something and Grandma going "Geeze Joseph!" and then catching a glimpse of my eye and laughing it off. She loved Grandpa so much that nothing they went through would effect the love she had for him.
Grandma loved Grandpa so deeply and that's why she was able to be lighthearted. Grandma would also do whatever Grandpa said (which saved her life while recovering from a car accident several years ago). She respected and loved him with all her heart.
I commend Grandpa Joe for loving Grandma and taking care of her so well. He did whatever it took to see she was loved and taken care of. He was her perfect companion.

I remember one time when we were little. Grandma and Grandpa came out to Arizona to visit us in Scottsdale. They had rented a little place and had me and my sister Bethany over on a scorching hot day in the summer time. It was one of those days where you walk outside and you feel like you stepped into an oven.
Well, Grandpa Joe wanted to make sure we were hydrated and offered us some cold water. He left the room to get the water and along came Grandma Vi. She asked us if we wanted any milk, soda or juice. And because our dad and mom hardly ever let us have soda we opted for a big glass of Coke! :)
Grandpa came back with our efficient, hydrating fuel and set it at the table for us - immediately followed by Grandma Vi who came in with a big glass of soda for both of us. We were pumped! Grandpa, frustrated that Grandma was giving us tons of non-hydrating sweets, mustered up one of those classic "Damnit" moments and said, "Damnit Vi! I wanted the kids to have water! I only offered them water and their parents don't want them drinking soda, so water is what we're gonna give em'."
But by the time that conversation was had we were already half-way into our soda's and we won the battle. :)
Grandma always wanted to spoil us (Grandpa does too just in a more responsible way).

One of my favorite memory's of Grandma Vi was probably about four years ago before I got married. She told me that Brad was handsome (that's the husband) and she asked me if he was nice to me (I was puzzled by the question) I told her well I wouldn't be marring him if he was mean! She responded "their are some stupid girls in the world, I'm glad your not one of them!" Silly convo, but it always makes me laugh!

To my wonderful mother who taught me to love to learn and to be adaptable. I will miss her, but I will see her again at the return of Christ!
