Our Beloved G.g.

I would be remiss if I did not talk about another great loss experienced in our family's life. Tim's grandmother (we called her Gg for great grandma) died on May 30, 2008. It was always my prayer when my girls were born that they would know their great grandparents. I found that prayer answered ten fold as I thought about the last years with her, not only did they know her they had a deep lasting relationship with her. She was an amazing great grandmother - always giving them little treats she had set aside for them (her face always lit up when they came in the room), a fantastic grandmother, an adoring wife of 66 years, and hands down the sweetest woman I ever knew. We miss her greatly around here. I knew coming into 2008 that it could very easily be a tough year, but I had no idea that two of the most amazing women in my life would be taken to heaven in th same week. It was unbelievable. We played that song "I can only imagine" at her Memorial, and I can only hope that these two women whom I loved so much are dancing on streets of gold - I look forward to the day when I can see them both again... One of my favorite last memories of Taylor with G.g. was when she crawled up on G.g.'s bed and whispered in her ear, "Have a good life in heaven G.g." I could not have said it better myself. We love you G.g.!
