It's amazing how fast life can change. This past Friday my grandmother, Mama Jackie, passed away at the hospital. She had some issues, but we didn't think she wouldn't make it through. She always 'had' issues that turned out to be nothing or at least something that can be fixed, but this time, it was kidney failure. A shock to my mom and aunts.
I have had such a emotional weekend. The childhood memories I have of my grandma are things I'll hold dear to my heart for a long, long time. I know she is with Jesus and I'm thankful that she is in heaven. The hard part for me is her daughters left here to grieve. I will be praying that each day gets a little easier for them. I love my parents so much and the thought of losing them is too much to bear sometimes. But I know that this world is not our home.
God has used this weekend to remind me that we are not promised tomorrow. But if you know Jesus as your Lord, you will live forever with Him.
Mama Jackie, say hello to all our loved ones that have gone before and I'll see you again...

Grandmas are something special for sure. My Mom's mom passed away 12 years ago and I still miss her like crazy! God's Grace is amazing and His peace is overwhelming. I pray for both for you and your family! Love you girl!
Sorry to hear about your Grandmother.I know how much they mean to you as I have lost both of mine and so wish I could see them again and I will some day! Like you the thought of losing my parents scares me to death but God said He would be with us in times of deep sorrow and I am clinging to that promise. Hope all is well with your family.
