Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I enjoyed spending time with family and friends but I couldn't help but to constantly think of you. We ate dinner and my husband’s grandmother’s house. It is tradition that before we eat, everyone says something about what they are grateful for. When it came to me I held back the tears and stated that this year has been a hard one for me (only a few knew my situation about your death and now dealing with my father’s sickness) but that I was grateful for my family and my husband’s family. Since I came into their lives they have embraced me with open arms. I asked for continued prayers. His grandmother reminds me so much of you. So family oriented, loving and accepting of others. She can even throw down like you and is the Matriarch of her family as well.
I ate some greens that reminded me of yours and they were absolutely wonderful. I wish that I could have you in my presence again. Although I am sad on the inside I try to always smile on the outside. No one knows the pain that I feel on a daily basis. My good days outweigh my bad days. I am very thankful that the Lord placed you in my life. Without you there would be no us (all of your children and grandchildren, etc.) You have been very instrumental in my upbringing and helped mold me into the women that I have become. Not a day goes by that you are not missed.
I hope and pray that my daughter has the same experiences that I have had and enjoyed with you Nanny. I just wished that we would have visited more often to spend more time with you. You have always put others first and I hope to be half the women you were. I know that those are going to be some big shoes to fill. I will forever hold onto the many memories that we have created.
I try to remain strong for my family but sometimes the tears come streaming down my face because I miss you that much. When I go up for alter call (because I am struggling with your death any my dad’s health) and seek prayer. I let the tears flow down my face. The most beautiful thing happens. If my daughter come up with me and she notices me crying she wipes away my tears and hugs me a little tight. It amazes me what a two year old can and will do. She is a blessing to us. My precious baby comforts me in my time of need. I am very thankful for the many blessing that the Lord has bestowed upon me and my family. I know that I am not the only struggle.
My favorite song that I am now able to sing without crying is Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand and that is what I plan on doing. I love you with all my heart and you will not be forgotten.Rest In Peace.
Until we meet again!!
