This week I lost my beloved grandma Daphne,she was 90 1/2yrs old. In the last 9 months I have lost both of my grandmothers. My grandma Daphne was the best grandma anyone could have, I will miss her so much, I cannot even imagine my life without her here, my boys will miss having their "meemaw" around. Jack is having a hard time and poor little Marcus wants to go up to heaven and "knock Jesus down" to get his meemaw back! Ben doesn't quite get it yet, I am sad he will prob not remember her. She left such a legacy, her dedication to God and her faith, family and community will live on through those who loved her and her memory will last forever in our hearts as we adjust to life with her gone, I guess I never really thought the day would come when I would have to say goodbye to her, and today was the day we buried her, I can honestly say that it has not sunk in yet. Even though I know she is in heaven tonight, dancing and praising with Jesus and her loved ones (that she truly missed) I am happy and rejoicing for her, she is no longer homesick, but home, where she is young and strong forever, where I will see her again and we will rejoice together for eternity.....I love you grandma, till we meet again!Saturday, February 6, 2010

ReplyDeleteSorry about your loss. I know your grandma is dancing and singing on the streets of gold! I will never forget when I found out that Curtis was born on her birthday. I will think of her every year I am sure. I am thinking about you and your family. Brittany
