I often wonder why God allows such emotion to stir in us when we remember our childhood. It's a time we won't get back. Sweet innocence. It makes me cry.

I treasured all the time I spent with her. I like to go into my memory bank from time to time and think of all those little things that made Grandma so special. I'm so looking forward to seeing her again in heaven and we won't have to be separated any more!<br />I pray you and your family will have a wonderful year ahead, full of health and happiness. <br />Have a wonderful week, sweet friend!♥Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781522902442021512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228735675928501755.post-3494110127918106432015-01-04T13:21:11.820-05:002015-01-04T13:21:11.820-05:00Dear Teri~

I am by no means an artist! :-)<br />I've had such a nice time remembering little things about Grandma, things I hadn't really thought about for years. It's made me feel very close to her these last few days. I have a couple more posts in mind to share, so I hope to have them here soon.<br />I would love to read what you share about your gramma.

I know it must have hurt you so deeply to lose her at such a young age. That was probably one of the best weeks of her life when you were there with her, and she died very much at peace, I am sure. Yes, you will see her again one day in Heaven! What a day that will be! God bless you throughout this new year, Melanie.

All of my grandparents are gone now.<br />My dad's mom passed away last year. She was 92 and had suffered with dementia for about 15 years.

It's amazing how back then, many folks had large families and lived well in smaller houses than the two of us do now. <br /><br />I have one Grandma left--she is 93 or 94. Both grandmothers were always very resourceful and sweet Christian ladies that other people loved to be around.
