"Mama"

My grandmother went to be with Jesus today. She is walking the isle to her Father and to her husband she has been separated from for so many years.

After being sick for a short while, she passed away this afternoon. It was not our timing once again, but God's. He knew before she was sick that her days were numbered. Oh how I wish now I had that knowledge...

All her grandchildren called her "Mama". She helped raise us all. I spent most of my childhood days in her care. So many memories are flooding my mind this evening as I remember how special she was in my life. It hurts knowing She will never get to meet Nathan.

This is what she enjoyed most. Taking care of us. She desired nothing else, but to love on and care for her children. I take comfort in knowing now that Jesus is loving on her and taking care of her now. She is no longer in pain.

She was 80 years old, but a young 80. We always would "kid" her about out living us all. She was always so healthy. We never dreamed this would happen to our "Mama". I encourage you all.... take advantage of each moment. You never know when it will be someone's last.

Please pray for our family as we get through this holiday week. She has five children, 8 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. She was one great mother and grandmother!
