This is the toughest subject to talk about. But it was one of the most important to Cindy. She was crazy about her
grand kids. CRAZY!!! She loved them and treated them like royalty. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with Cameron, Cindy was in love. She called Cameron her prince and her cookie. She would shower him with a million
kissies. In Cameron's eyes, Grammy is the best. He has told me that a lot. In the picture above you can see the pride in her eyes.
Then
Ryleigh was born. Princess
Ryleigh. We were all overjoyed to have a girl. We gave her the middle name Rose for Cindy's mom and Aunt Katie. Cindy and Katie made sure she was treated just like a princess. She was
Grammy's cupcake and got
chocy milk whenever she wanted.
Jack and Cindy were gracious enough to watch the kids while I went to work during the school year. I never worried about them. They would fill their days with playing outside, baking cookies, zoo visits, and other fun activities. Somethings I wouldn't know about... what happens at
Grammy's house stays at
Grammy's house. The only times I saw Cindy upset with her being sick was when she couldn't get the kids. She would always ask, when can I pick up or hold my
grand kids.
Then in April
Kieran was born. I am glad that Cindy got to be there. In fact, they were the first ones there at 3am when we got to the hospital. It makes me happy to know that she met him. We are blessed and lucky to have such wonderful parents and grandparents in our lives. My kids will never forget her. We have pictures, videos and our memories to pass on. Thank you Cindy, Mom, and Grammy.

Missy - It is obvious to everyone that knows Cindy that she loves your kids, her grandkids, more than anything. Those pictures are priceless, I was just looking at the ones from when Kieran was born on Katie's facebook, before you even put this up. No matter what, Cameron, Ryleigh, and Kieran will always know how amazing their Grammy was (from your stories, and everyone at St. Pauls' stories) - she was one of the strongest women I knew, always had a smile on her face, even when she was facing a huge physical battle, she remained joyful in the Lord.
ReplyDeleteThere are still a million prayers for Cindy and the whole Kelly family - we're constantly praying. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable to the disciples to NEVER give up praying. Yesterday, Pastor Mark preached on persistent prayer. While this prayer for Cindy can be answered in a few different ways, she is still in my prayers, and so are the rest of the Kellys. We love you, and are thinking about you all the time.
Dear Kellys - The whole Pollmann clan has all of you in our hearts, minds and prayers. There are some Pollmann boys who have shed some tears for their Mama Kelly, but I know that they are better young men for the things she taught them. Take care of yourselves. Give Cindy a kiss and a hug from me if you can. I still can't believe that she presented me and Kathryn's Mom with spoon rests at Jon & Kathryn's wedding after she learned at the shower than neither of us had ever owned one! That's just the kind of gal she is:))
