I don't even know how to begin this post.......my heart is filled with sadness! This past week has been terrible for my family as we had to say good-bye to my grandma! She was a person that was many things to many people. To me, she was not only Grandma, but someone who instilled values, love and friendship into me!

Grandma....your days here changed everything! Your missed here and will always be! But you left here us a great gift! Our hearts will ache to come home with you!

Both of my boys were very fond and deeply attached to "Grandma Rocky"! Garrett completely does not understand the true meaning of death. Our conversation went a bit like this:

Garrett: Did Rocky die?
Me: I don't like to say that she died.....
Garrett: Well, what happened then?
Me: She went to live with Jesus.....
Garrett: Well, when is she going to come back and live with us?
Me: She isn't. She is going to stay with Jesus and live with him forever.
Garrett: When will we see her again?
Me: When we go live with Jesus we will get to hug her and kiss her and she will read to you again.
Garrett: Ok...Jesus will take care of her won't he?
Me: Yes!

We spoke to her before bed tonight.............

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.....
Grandma Rocky we will keep you in our hearts....
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star......
We will meet you where you are!

Until then,
WE LOVE YOU!

I know she heard us!
