The heavens were perfectly blue
The family gathered together last night
and watched a sweet slide-show
of my grandma.
She loved being a wife, mother, & grandmother.
Tears flowed (for the millionth time that day)
as I was filled with gratitude
for my grandparents and their example
of an eternal marriage and family.
This beautiful & precious life is just a speck
of eternity.
I know families are forever.
And this knowledge is what eases the pain
of this sad time in our family right now.

And then we karaoked.
We pretty much rocked the house.
Even sweet Grandpa joined in.

The funeral was just as special and it was wonderful to reflect on the special lady grandma was.
ReplyDeleteHi I am a new follower to your blog and just started recently reading you and your families story. You have a beautiful heart and son.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was diagnosed with Williams sYndrome a month ago, she is 3 now, after much searching and therapy. It is a new lifestyle for us that we are learning to let become our norm
I read your linked post about your grandma. Got to the last line and was just overcome. Beautiful. I didn't have a relationship with either of my grandmas, I am so glad my children will have memories like yours.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Forever is a lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteI will miss your Grandma dearly. I've seen many of your family slides, I can imagine how those tears must have flowed! I would have been a mess!!
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for forever. Thinking of you with tenderness.
ReplyDeleteYour grandma was a special lady to so many. She touched so many lives young and old. I'm glad you got to celebrate her life with your family.
