Zhanna's Animal Stories and other Interesting Things: Me and My Dear Mum-Mum

My dearest Mum-Mum went to be with the Lord on Monday, September 22, 2014 at 10:30 pm.

As long as I can remember, Mum-Mum and Papa have lived 5 minutes from my house in Weatherford. She had been on oxygen for a long time for her emphysema. It had gotten harder and harder for her to do much. She always said she was fine as long as she was sitting.

I have some special memories......

Going shopping with her and riding with her on her scooter
Watching her run the scooter off the curb at the mall because she was going faster than us (she was ok)
Going to the Texas State Fair in 2013 with her and Papa. She was so excited to have a funnel cake and a corn dog
Making Christmas cookies, homemade egg rolls, enchiladas, and potato dumplings at her house
Watching movies with her — she told me she wanted to watch Frozen but we didn't ever get to watch it :-(
Cleaning her house for her
Fixing her hair
Baking all her favorite Christmas cookies last year while she watched and helped at the bar
She always wanted to see my hair after I washed it and it was curly
Helping her with her scooter and oxygen
When she came to watch me on Jet at the Chisholm Challenge (AQHA horse-riding event)
She enjoyed it when I brought her "grand-dog" Angel to her house
She loved it when Papa made her popcorn balls
When we made her a blueberry pie she was so happy

She went into the hospital with pneumonia the week before she died. All her kids and grandkids were all able to be around her a lot that last week in the hospital. She was also able to see her sister and her husband, Sally & Ed, her sister-in-law, Lorita, and her niece Lori. It will be a special time to remember with her. She talked to us as much as she could. I love you Mum-Mum and look forward to seeing you in heaven someday!
