Our Gram!

Dave's Grandma (we call her Gram) passed away early this morning. We are sure going to miss her. She is wonderful and was always good to us. Every time we would visit she would pull out the creamies, or some kind of cookie for the kids. We enjoyed visiting with her every chance we got.

She also shared the best recipes with me. I feel like she is my grandma too, even though it is only through marriage.

Last night, I am not sure how or why, maybe she heard Dave and I talking about her earlier in the week, but Ali said to me, "Mom, I think that Grandpa is calling Gram" "I think he is going to come and get her" "I think he really misses her" Ali must be in tune with the spirit, because we got the phone call this morning.

When I woke Ali and told her that Grandpa came and got Gram, she smiled and said, I just knew it. She had a happy feeling about it, even though she will miss her. We are so happy that she is back with him, I am sure it was a grand reunion. Gram missed him so much!

What a blessing to have the gospel of Jesus Christ and know that we will see each other after this life and be together if we live righteously.

On my mission I met many people that would lose loved ones and they would wail and cry for days because they were sure that they were gone forever. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and he has a plan for us to all be together after we leave this earth.

I can just see Gram fussing over Grandpa, or visiting with her parents and other siblings that have gone on before. What a joyous and wonderful thought to have.

We love you Gram! So grateful for your example, love and service to all of us. We miss you already! Until we meet again. ;)
