So Thankful

Something happened this week that made me more thankful than ever....thankful for my husband, my children, family, great friends and thoughtful coworkers. Early Tuesday morning my Grandma passed away. She was an inspiration to me my whole life. She was everything I hope to see in my children as they grow older - kind, unassuming, gracious, generous...there aren't enough words. A couple years ago, on the day we say goodbye to my Grandpa, she and I were sitting in my Aunt and Uncle's yard enjoying the sunshine and reminiscing about him. She said to me "We had a good life. We never had a lot of money, but we travelled some and met a lot of nice people." She was thankful for her life...and I'm thankful for the 36+ years I had with her. Though I miss her terribly, I'm thankful that she is in Heaven with my Grandpa, her parents and sisters, and many good friends.
