Grandma

Tomorrow we will bury our Grandmother (Dad's Mom) who passed away last week. She lived a long, full, vibrant life and we are thankful her journey on earth was not full of pain and suffering and she is now rejoicing with her Maker. Tonight we were blessed to be able to spend an evening with cousins who have travelled from all over Canada to be here to remember and say farewell to Grandma. It was a wonderful evening, catching up with some family members we haven't seen in years. Plus I was able to spend some time holding a beautiful 6-month-old Kaitlyn (same name, but a daughter of one of my cousin's) who even when squawking, was still a joy to hold.

I'm sure tomorrow will have its moments of pain, but overall, we are a family rejoicing a woman who loved life, serving the Lord.
