Missing you

This weekend will be the one year anniversary of my grandmother passing away. In some ways I can't believe it's already been that long.Or maybe it is that I don't want it to have been that long.
I think the only reason the time bothers me is because I dont want it to have been a whole year already! And if it has been an entire year why does my voice still catch when I talk about her? Why can I still feel her hands in mine? Why does it still hurt in my gut of guts?

You know that I'm a Christian so it's not that I'm thinking I'm never going to see her again. I'm just sad I have to go so long missing her. And I'm sad she's not here for some of the other life experiences I have yet to go through.

But God has been faithful and will be faithful and these wounds will heal. I'm just glad He blessed my family with someone so worth missing!

 So let's dry up these tears and do something positive with our heartbreak. If you'll join me - I'd like to do a little tribute to my grandmother, the woman who changed my life.

Thank you for being so proud of us. All of the time.




 

Thank you for being so strong all the time.
