Yesterday afternoon my sweet Granny passed away. Granny in the eyes of everyone that knew her was the most incredible, loving, honest, humble, practically perfect person we knew! She had a way of making anyone feel so special- even through making us her hot ham and cheese and 7 up specialty. I have never known a person quite like her. I can think of so many memories- and every single one of them make me smile and wish I could just relive them again. I don't really know how to handle this very well... The moment I heard of course knowing me I sobbed but my emotions soon changed... Granny has been with out her husband for 11 years and for 11 years she has been ready to go be with him and her Maker. I can picture Granny and Granddad for the first time in 11 years just holding each other full of peace and joy.... I wept for a whole different reason after thinking that. I am so grateful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, because we believe that their is life after death and if we live righteously we can be with our families FOREVER! For eternity! I believe with all my heart that I will see her again- I believe that my Granny is so happy right now and I know how proud our Heavenly Father must be of her! I am so honored to be her Grandchild! I am so honored to have incredible memories that I do of this extraordinary women! I am so grateful that I will see her again and have one of her famous hugs and kisses. I love you Granny and I can't wait to see you again.
