This is my first ever blog post but everyone wants to know what is going on in my life and I want to start a journal so why not start a blog. So here it goes.
Yesterday November 26, 2011 my grandma passed away. I never thought that the day would come so soon that I would have to experience it. I never believed her when she would say, "Oh this is my last Christmas." Well it was and I am so sad that I never got time to spend with her before she went away. She broke her leg two months ago, that finally got better, and I talked to her on her birthday I didn't really listen but I was just doing it because that is what you do. Well a week later she broke her other leg and went into the nursing home where she died. I never could take a day off and go visit my grandma. Being in her company wasn't always the best she often harped on what you were doing wrong or that you were really spoiled and didn't deserve most of the things you had. But I wouldn't trade those conversations for the world. I was on my way to the resting home when I got the phone call that she had already passed. Instantly I realized all the things that I wish I would have done. My family became first priority and that I need to take the time to show them that I love them before they are gone. The saying is true that you don't really know what you have till it's gone. We always seem to ask why couldn't everyone just take less if they wouldn't have expected so much of me well I now have the view of if I gave a little bit more. I have become very active in church and I am preparing to serve a mission. I want to give so much of myself that when I return to my Heavenly Father and become empty handed saying I have no more to give. I want to be able to see my grandma and my loving cousin in Heaven and give them a hug and say thank you for loving me and helping me be who I am! Grandma I know that you were called back to our Heavenly home that when I tell Heavenly Father in my prayers that he goes and tells you your grandaughter says hello and that she can't wait to see you and she is gonna take care of grandpa. I love you grandma!
