Looking Back....


Looking back at the month of October brings a wave of emotions...the highs - the lows, the laughter and the tears.  So much happened during that month that I think it will probably take me the entire month trying to recapture every moment.  The beginning of the month began with sorrow and tears as we grieved the loss of our dear Grandma who went to be with the Lord!

When you think of what a Grandma is and how you would define them that would probably sum up mine.  She was everything that I could have imagined a Grandma to be and even more.  I find peace in the fact that when she left this world, she left it living a full life and feeling incredibly loved...and at Heaven's gates, she was not only met by our Savior but by our friends and family who were waiting for her with open arms.

I wish more than anything that my kids would have been able to have the memories with her that I grew up with, but for now, until they see her again, their memories will be my memories...which will be with me forever until I can see her again!
