Ryan and I were driving back from Idaho Falls when i got a text from Kaid that made my heart sink and stomach turn. My Daddy's mom past away around 9:30 Friday night, Ry and i rushed to the ICU as fast as we could, she was still warm when i kissed her, i just wanted her to wake up so bad. My dad offered a beautiful family prayer that was so comforting and really helped lighten the heavy mood. Grandama (or Grawma as most of my family says,) was an incredible woman and the other side is going to be so lucky to have such a happy soul join them. My grandma has been sick for quite a while, stuck in bed, and in so much pain and i know she is happier where she is now it is just hard to lose someone so special so fast. I have so many memories from when i was younger, Marcus and i used to play on the big rocks in her yard while she would make us yummy lunches, sing us silly songs, make our self sick on cherries, and expand our creativity with our "notebooks" (we had spiral notebooks that we drew pictures and wrote stories in). She was always doing little service projects too, an amazing example of selfless love for her fellow men even if she didn't know them. She was a fantastic cook, teacher, friend, mother, grandma... I just pray that i will take her example and be more like her,she will always hold a special place in my life and in my heart.
I know she's in a better place now and i am so grateful to know that this isn't goodbye, just a short time of absence. I love the gospel and the comfort it gives at times like this, although it won't take away all of the sadness and tears, it does give some relief. We love you Grawma!!!
