Remembering my Grandma...

Even though there is 3 weeks of summer left, you can feel fall in the air the past couple of days...So much has taken place over the summer,birthay celebrations, Scott and I celebrating our 20 wedding Anniversary, camp for the girls, vacation and Costa Rica mission trip, and school starting. I am so looking forward to things slowing down.  The last week has been very hard, I lost my 90 year old grandmother on July 28th. Even though we know she is with her heavenly father, it is still so hard to give them up. It's hard to give up all the sweet things that she did for everyone, like still sending cards on your birthday, its hard to give up her wonderful cooking, fresh cream corn, fried okra, fresh strawberry cake, poundcakes, turkey and especially the dressing and homemade biscuits, its hard to give up her loving ham biscuits, its hard to give up her saying, Robin, whachu doing? It was hard seeing her struggle the last 4 weeks of her life and knowing that she probably wasn't going to make it, its hard seeing my Mom and my Aunts and Uncle grieve for her and its hard seeing my grandpa cry and saying "I've lost my best friend".  I knew that it would be hard, but not this hard, all of the family is grieving her loss and will for a long time.  She will truly be missed by all who knew an loved her so very much.  I know that the holidays will be hard too because we all got together for them, so many cherished memories of her and all the family get togethers.  I know one thing that I am thankful for and that is my grandma knew her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that my 2 daughters got to know her and love her.  And I do know one thing lastly, that I will get to be reunited and see my grandma again in a glorified perfect body.
