It's been a while since I have blogged, I guess I've not had much to say. Now I have something to say so here I am.
On the 31st of March sometime between midnight and 2AM my grandmother (forever known to you as my Gaw Gaw) passed away.
My mother finally made it into town on Friday and we met at my Gaw Gaw's house only to find other distant family members had made their way through to pick out what they wanted. I wont go into the nightmare this has been.
On Friday my mother picked up my Gaw Gaw's ashes and today we released her into the Gulf of Mexico... it's as close to the ocean as I can get here in Houston, Texas.
It was a simple ceremony... we read Psalms 23 and then released the ashes with some rose petals at the same time and then we sang Amazing Grace... a song that was last sang almost 12 years ago at my sister's funeral... but I digress.
Today was simple, you know for my grandmother to be so lively the bag of ashes was small.... The life that lived was so great and so loving and yet the bag was small.
I will forever miss her and love her!
Thanks for taking the time to read
