I have received the saddest call I've ever received......
My dear Fijian grandma Sereana has passed away. I received a call from the pastor about an hour ago saying she passed last night. I am beyond devastated.....more than devastated. I am totally undone. Like undone totally.
I met Grandma Sereana in 2017 in Fiji. I was on a solo trip just having a blast. We stopped in her village and she saw me, came over to me, hugged me and said I love you. I folded like a white plastic chair with weight on it. I teared up because she looks like my real grandma who passed away in 2014. In my mind I was like, is this my grandma coming back to me in the Fijian form. I'm not a softy so folding is something I don't do but she sensed I needed her and perhaps she needed me as she did not have any children.
Each year I would go to Fiji for our group trips and sometimes I fly to Fiji 🇫🇯 just to hang out with her...just me and her. When it was time to fly out, she would come to the airport to see my group and I off. Sometimes she'd bring us Fijian gifts and more. I treated her like ny real grandma. Hugging her, telling her I love you and of course sliding some cash her way just because. She never asked me for anything but what she gave me was unconditional love always. Before I was married, I'd send her pics of who I was dating. She wouldn't say anything which meant....girl are you for real...not this bozo. She didn't do this with my husband and I'm glad they got to meet up to share the love.
We talked on a fairly regular basis. The last time I saw her was three months ago. I stayed in Fiji a few extra days so we could hang out and have lunch at the beach. She brought me some Christmas gifts and I always slid her the thank you grandma money she never asked for.
Thank you God for giving her to me and my clients for over 8 years. I am happy that I told her I love her recently and our last meeting was a happy one. May heaven open up the doors and received you in just the way you prayed for. I am heartbroken 💔 but will carry the love you gave me from 2017 and beyond in my heart ❤️.
Please send out your prayers to the family of our dear Sereana.
Always and forever....
Kenna
