Yesterday, after a wonderful 92 years, my Grandma Bonnie went to heaven to be with Jesus. Although there have been many tears and moments of sadness, I can also look back on all the ways she blessed my life. First off, I was named after one of the most amazing ladies in the world... my grandma. Many of our family traditions and memories have grandma being a part of them, but now I am at peace knowing that she is pain-free and in the life that we are all hoping to be a part of someday. The biggest blessing was the fact that she was healthy and strong for Aaron and my wedding this summer. I will never forget that day with grandma. When I think of grandma, I think of her strong faith, her waving goodbye out her front door as we drove away from our visits, her candy counter, her wrinkly hands that I would always play with, her love for junk food, and many more. I will miss you every day grandma, but I know that you are in a better place!
It was such a blessing to have grandma at our wedding this summer!
