Grannie moved

I have such sweet memories
Of time spent with you
From sitting in front of your fish tanks
To sitting in your lap.

From my hot rod Grannie
Who drove a yellow T-bird
To the summer I went to Virginia with you
What a fun trip that was, just me and you

How about the Saturdays you came out to the farm
You’d bring boxes of doughnuts and other things
But mostly it was time with you that I cherished

One time your box held a special surprise
6 grey kitties hidden inside
You had picked them up from the side of the road
Brought them out for us to love

I’ve missed you for years since I’ve been away
I would have come back if I’d had my way
Thoughts of you were always close
Memories of love tucked away in my heart

Still I will miss you when you’re gone
Though happy I’ll be for yo0u
Free from pain, free forever more
To walk with the Lord through eternality

Now you’ve joined those who went before
One by one we will join you
Over the years in time to come
Your hugs and kisses I will enjoy once more

I love you are
The last words from you I heard
And they are the sweetest words I know
My precious Grannie, I Love you too!

      Thanks precious
      I had a hard day the I found out, and cried most of the day and then I was ok
      I had just seen her a few weeks before so I had got to say good bye to her.

      and I'd take those hugs any time

      love you

      God has been holding me close, Friday when I found out was a very tough day, But God was even in that as Friday wasn't a school day. It hit me hard and I spent the day crying. but God wrapped me in his love and grace and I have been fine since.
