Only two days ago, we said our final goodbyes to my Grandmother, Dorothy. It was bittersweet, but more sweet than bitter. I was so happy for all that awaited her in the next life that I found it hard to be sad. I will miss her though. She was so vibrant!
It is amazing how much you learn about a person once they are gone. That is how her funeral was for me. So much was left untold. I learn more and more about her all the time.
I believe that next to staying righteous and raising a righteous family, her two greatest accomplishments were:
1. Making everyone she met feel like he or she was truly special in her heart...because it was true.
2. Not letting a moment pass her by without thoroughly enjoying it.
Both of these attributes made her the woman we all adored and admired. And as a perfect tribute to her and her near perfection, Monday couldn't have been a more perfect day to lay her earthly body to rest. The temperature was ideal, the sky was clear and bright blue, there was a slight breeze, and the sun shone bright. The Lord had welcomed her home with a gorgeous day!
My grandmother was nothing less than amazing!

These beautiful flowers came from Monday. There were so many flowers sent to our family, that I got to take them home. They are sitting in my kitchen. I love the reminder.
