Eternity


My Grandma Ada passed away two days ago. I am so sad to have her gone. She lived her life well and has been without her husband for almost 10 years now. What a marvelous reunion she is having with her family. I am sad for the rest of us that are continuing on in life without her right here with us. We all have a part of her within us and can continue her legacy of love and devotion to others.

We had such a wonderful time at her 90th birthday last year. It was a grand family reunion. I am so thankful for all the time I have had with her over the years and am grateful for all that she taught me. This is a picture of my mom and my grandmother, the two most important women in my life. They have both made me who I am. I don't know what I did before this life to deserve such wonderful relationships but I will always cherish them and hopefully pass on the wonder of family to my own children. I am thankful for the Gospel and that families are forever. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father that has blessed me so abundantly in this life. What a comfort at times like these to know that I get to see my family again.
