Love

On August 2, 2008 my Grandma passed away. All of her kids her husband of 60 (give or take) years, and most of her grandkids around her. It didn't sink in that she was really gone until the next summer when the whole family went down to Florida to remember her and spend time together. It was weird, I think she was the glue of our family. She had a great sense of humor, was the BEST cook, enjoyed card games (she was always telling me to breast my cards), and she loved her family and Grandpa with EVERYTHING in her. I was listening to random music last night and I stumbled onto the song Lollipop by the Chordettes, this was Grandmas favourite song to clog to, my Grandpa's favourite part was where she would shake her bottom :) I was told Grandpa that I missed Grandma and him, and she wrote back with "I miss her every moment of the day, Honey." This just breaks my heart! My Grandpa is not a believer, he is a part of the UU church in Florida. This church basically believes in science and almost mocks all religions. My Grandpa loves it. I can't imagine losing my boyfriend let alone a spouse, best friend, constant companion, and love of my life of 60 years all in a moment. Oh the pain he must be going through, he loved her SO much. He met her while working in a ice-cream shop, he saw her and fell in love right away, but she was dating another boy. I don't exactly know how all that went down but I know they got married with a short time of meeting. They were so in love. If only Grandpa could know how much MORE Jesus loves him.
