Sad day

Yesterday was a sad day for me. In the morning, DH and I attended a funeral for a very special little girl, Mara. It was amazing to be at the service yet so heart wrenching at the same time. She touched so many lives in her short time on earth.

Then, when we got home I had a message from my mom to call her. So I did. My dad answered and said his mom had died that morning. My grandmother was such an awesome woman. I will miss her very much. She stuck to her beliefs and wasn't afraid to let others know how she felt. There was no doubt to her family that she loved them. So, later next week, we'll be going to her funeral.



It was a sad day--but I guess without those we wouldn't have happy days either.
