Losing and leaving

Steve's Granna died this Sunday AM. How interesting that it is almost a year ago that Steve's mom died on a Sunday morning also. Granna was the first family member I met after Steve's parents. She was ecstatic about Steve and my engagement. She reminded me that he was a good one and told him to take good care of me. She always spoke her mind. Sometimes it made people mad. After our third child she asked me if we were through and told Steve not to give me any more babies! I reminded her that she had four and asked her which one she would like to return. Of course, she said "none of them".

Granna grew up in the Christian church. She has always loved Jesus and known Him. She was re-baptized over a year ago when she started having doubts. It was a precious time to witness that event and watch her grow closer to the Lord. Now, she goes to be with her Groom. No more loneliness, no more "accidents", no more weight problems, no more high blood sugars. I am overjoyed for her. But, I already miss her.
