Our sadness, her freedom

Today, I got word that my Grandma passed away. It is a sad time for us but not for her. It is sad as we will miss our mother, grandma, great-grandma, and friend. But for Grandma, she is free of the body that was no longer hers. She now is in a place where she can remember everything rather than the select. She is free.

Now in Heaven, she can golf (and get that hole in one), curl, play cards, and even bet on the ponies. She will see all those who left before her. She will see her infant son, her brothers who died too young, her epileptic mother, her father, her step mother and many more. She will be our guardian angel who will look over us and keep us on the straight and narrow.

We will no longer see her with our eyes, hold her hand, or give her a hug. We will instead see her with our hearts, remember her with our memories, and feel warm when we remember.

Nedra Mae Macallister Snelson, we will miss you.
Love, your grand daughter.

Hi Ang,
So sorry to hear about your Gramma. It's always difficult to lose our loved ones, but a little less so when we know they have lived whole lives.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this tough time.
