As some of you might know by now, my 91-year-old grandmother died May 29 from injuries sustained in a car accident on May 27. It was just bad news all the way around. The car was driven by her youngest son, my uncle, who is now 67 years old. My grandma suffered a broken neck, multiple head injuries, broken ribs, bruises. It has been a very sad time as we all miss her terribly and feel lost without her. I try to keep my head above the water as I know she is reunited with all our loved ones who had already passed on..but her absence is daunting to say the least. I was so blessed to have her in my life as long as I did...and being able to see her every week as she lived only 7-10 miles away.
One of her favorite songs was "Open My Eyes That I May See"...which made me think of one of my favorites "Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord."
We buried my grandmother on Monday. She loved the Lord probably more than anyone else I know. She only knew how to SERVE those around her with LOVE. If she was not serving or doing something for someone other than herself, or cooking for someone or crocheting baby hats, booties and afghans for donations, she was truly lost. She was her happiest serving. She was a good representative of being as Christ-like here on Earth as any human could be.
My son and I love her so much and miss her even more. She was a very strong, healthy woman and I think if this had not happened, I imagine she would still be busy serving us all up with her love.
I tried to do this page in honor of her and how she loved that particular song.
My little one this week is very, very primitive lol
