Did everyone have a Happy Mother's Day? Yesterday we learned the true meaning of recognizing your loving mother more often than just one day a year. My dear Great Grandmother, Myrtle Krogh, is over a century (that's 100 years) old. Yesterday, on Mother's Day, she went into the hospital with heart problems among others and a call went out to her family members that it was time to come in and say goodbye. We made the drive out there and were greeted by at least 30 other family members who had all gathered in sadness. This woman is a huge part of history. Because of her, so many people have come into this world and done great things for our family and society. Myrtle married Eldor Krogh and together they had two daughters, the start of a snowball effect that would leave Myrtle with seven grandchildren (all married), nineteen great grandchildren, and five (at the time of this blog) great great grandchildren. That's five generations and 33 people (not counting spouses or step-children) all because of one woman. We stayed at the hospital for a few hours and prayed when the chaplain came; after which, many of the family members decided to stay through the night with her while some left because of unavoidable schedules.
Myrtle Krogh breathed her last breath this morning, so it is today we join hands in sorrow and say goodbye to a truly amazing legend.
