and even though it does feel time has flown…the majority of my heart feels like it has been way longer than a year since we said goodbye to Grandma. So much has happened this year within our family, a baby has been born, an engagement, close friends have passed away, children have grown, babies learned to talk, we’ve celebrated holidays and birthdays. She’s missed out on so much, and we’ve missed her being with us. My Grandpa has learned how to survive and we are all very happy that he is finally happy again.

The saying is so true that life does go on, the earth doesn’t stop moving and we don’t stop living. We just feel that a part of our family is missing and we’ll always feel that way. I will forever have to explain to my little ones why Great Grandma isn’t here…and at least one time a week, Abby makes sure I know that she misses her. Baby Ethan will grow up and we will tell him that his Great Grandma would have loved to hold him and knit him little sweaters. Life has taken on a different tune, not good, not bad, just different.

Love you Grandma…miss you so much!!
