I'm Remembering....

Today, I'm remembering a year ago today when my Grandma passed away. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about her. Or heard her voice in my head. Or saw something that reminded me of her. And that's the beauty of life. Even though she is gone, she is not forgotten. God has given us the memories to hold onto forever! And those memories will bring a smile to my face every time! She was an angel on earth and now she's our angel in Heaven. And I can't wait for the day I can see her in Heaven. I know she will greet me with warm and loud, "Helllooooo Bethie!"

This is one of the instances where I can still hear her voice as clear as day....I'll always remember!! She loved her great-grandbabies!!

Papa picked out the most perfect piece to represent the most perfect wife, mother, Grandma, and Gigi.
"To know her was to love her" is definitely an understatement.

Mommy Moment

We had about 2.5 days straight of rain earlier this week. On our way to school Thursday morning, the clouds were finally dissipating and the sun was slowly shining through. Here is the conversation I had with Grant:

Me: Look Grant, the sun is trying to peek through.

Grant: Maybe its an angel.

Me: Maybe you're right. Maybe its Gigi. She's our angel you know.

Grant: Maybe. But that looks like a multitude of angels.

It warmed my heart to know that he not only expects to see angels in the sky, and has hope that he will, but also because it showed me he remembered the Christmas story about the multitude of angels appearing to the shepherds the night of Jesus' birth. He learned that in school 3 months ago.

His sweet little heart continues to amaze me each and every day!!

Love You Gobs, Grandma!

We will love you, always and forever Gigi!!! I know you'll be the best angel God could ever give us!!

Our Gigi

I have been blessed with an amazing grandma for the past 31 years! She has always been a big part of my life, and she has been a big part of my boys life as well. Even though we don't get to see her as often as we'd like, we always try and squeeze in a visit, no matter how long, as often as possible! 

A few weeks ago, we found out my grandma has cancer. She is such a trooper and sometimes, she would lead you to believe she feels fine. But that's just how she is- she always stays strong for everyone else. We know our time with her is running out, but these moments will never escape us! Each of the boys got a special moment with Gigi! And they all loved all her silly names she calls them- sugar booger, lamby legs, honey heart! You really never know what will come out of Gigi's mouth! That's just one of the things that make her the best grandma I could've asked for!

We will back very very soon so we can get as many special moments with Gigi as we can!!
