    10 years ago...

    The phone rings in the middle of the night. The house is alive with panic. It's THE call. It's time to go. Rushing to the hospital, sadness fills our hearts. My heart is pounding as we slowly make our way to the hospital. We gather together in her hospital room. Sweet whispers of love and goodbyes fill the air. We give our hugs goodbyes. We all stay and watch as she drifts away. Slow shallow breaths and then nothing. Silence fills the room. A tear slowly streams down. A moment that will never be forgotten.

    Lives were changed forever. You are missed, grandma.

     Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And there is none upon earth
    That I desire besides you.

    My flesh and my heart fail;
    But God is the strength of my heart
    And my portion forever.

    I have put my trust in the Lord
    God that I may declare all your works.

    Psalm 73:25,26,28

    Thank you God for giving me all the special times with my grandmother.
