One year...

Today marks one year since my beloved Grandma was called to heaven; one year that I have spent missing her every day and reminiscing about what my life was like with her in it. It hasn't been easy; losing a loved one is such a challenge and moving forward without them is an ever bigger challenge.
There isn't a day that I don't think of Grandma, sometimes I even talk to her thinking she is still around, there are even days when I forget she's gone and I want to go over to her house to play Scrabble all afternoon and then it hits me that she's in a better place and probably enjoying her eternal peace.
My Grandma's absence has taught me so many things starting with the fact that people are alive as long as they are remembered and that God always provides that comfort needed beyond our human understanding, that death is permanent but so are the memories in our hearts and that Grandmas are angels no matter where they are.
I miss you so much, Grandma! Thank you for teaching me so much and for loving me without hesitation, even at my worst! You are always on my mind! :)
