Grandma Riva

12 days ago I received very sad news. My grandma passed away. As difficult as it was to hear it, more difficult was to know that I am thousands miles away and can't be there for my dad and my aunt. Hugging over the phone doesn't work very well.

This post is in memory of my grandma. She left behind son and daughter, 4 grandchildren, 5 grand-grandchildren.


The first and the last pictures here are 11 years apart. On the first picture my grandma is looking at her first grand-granddaughter. That's my Lila. Three years later she is holding her second grand-granddaughter - my Ella. The third picture is from our last visit last February. She is with the girls and their new baby brother. Supplies: cardstock (Paper Studio), patterned paper (Heidi Grace), journaling tag (Heidi Grace), chipboard heart (Heidi Grace), acrylic heart (Heidi Swapp), letter stickers (American Crafts, Making Memories)


Here are 4 generations of women together. My daughter, myself, grandma, my cousin Miri and my aunt. I wish we would take a picture of everybody together but I never thought it will be the last time we see her.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill), patterned paper (October Afternoon, Jenni Bowlin), tag (October Afternoon), metallic heart (Colorbok), dies (Quickutz), glaze pens (Sakura)
