I hope you enjoy these pictures Grandmama. I just love them. I had so many of all of us through out the years that it was really hard to choose.
On christmas eve my great grandmother went to bed with a new piece of fabric to start a new quilt and intentions of being with family on christmas day. Instead she woke up sitting at the feet of Jesus on His birthday. I can only imagine what she felt when she opened her eyes and saw her baby girl she'd been waiting to meet for all these years. She also got to reunite with her husband who she'd been separated from for 6 years, but most importantly she found herself with the one who gave her life and loved her with an everlasting love.
She was a wonderful person and she loved the Lord with all of her heart. She loved all those around her and she treated everyone as though they were her own. She made me laugh, made me feel loved, and she gave me hope that we can survive this life and that it is possible to trust the Lord and love Him through all the challenges of life. I don't really remember a time in my life that she wasn't there and I think about her everyday. The next time I go back home I know it will not be the same because she won't be sitting at my mother's table with her cup of coffee and my grandmother waiting for our entry. My kids won't be able to run to her with open arms and yell at the top of their lungs Maw.....................(that's what we called her). I also know that she is loving her new life and new home and I'm so happy for her because she has won and she has reached the goal that we are all aiming for..............a place of no more pain, no more sorrow, no more suffering, and no more tears. There is only peace and love and I know that there is tons of laughing because she is hysterically funny!
