While we were in Tallinn we got some very, very sad news. Auntie Barbie rang and told us that her mum, my Foster Grandma Lorraine, had died. She had cancer, a very horrible kind, and she fought it for 10 whole months, but on the 14th July she said goodbye forever.
Foster Grandma Lorraine was an amazing woman. She had 10 kids, and lots of grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, but she still "fostered" me, and always spoiled me and sent me cards and presents. She used to always draw a funny face and write "Wacko" and that would make me smile.
When Mama told me what happened, I wanted to know where Foster Grandma Lorraine had died to, but Mama couldn't explain very well. I really hope it's someplace very, very nice, because that's where she belongs.
We went to the biggest church in Tallinn, this orthodox one on top of a hill, and lit some candles as our way of saying "Goodbye Foster Grandma Lorraine, we love you."
