Goodbye

My beloved grandmother, my heart and mind are filled with memories of you. You were life personified. Vivacious. Attentive. Interested. Enthusiastic. Energetic. Always up for a game, a party, or an adventure.

You were my cheerleader. My fan club. You always had a kind, encouraging word. You had a way of making your grandchildren feel like they were the most important people in the world.

I am so thankful that my children had the opportunity to meet you. I am so thankful that we were able to spend time with you this past summer and then again at Christmas. Levi will always treasure the fact that you came to his birthday party the day before you left to return home.

And then you went to your true home, of which this one is just a shadow.

I can imagine you singing with the angels. They are blessed to have you.

Love, your adoring granddaughter.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother 20 years ago, and I still miss her every day.

I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother passed away just two weeks ago and your beautiful words were exactly what I would have wanted to say to her. Thank you.

Based on what I've read in your blog, she was an amazing woman. She will be survived by this wonderful earthly legacy as she goes to her reward.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I lost my grandma (last of our kids' great-grandparents) a year ago, so I know how hard it is to say goodbye. You said it so beautifully. Your whole family is in my prayers.
