Today is an anniversary.

Today is an anniversary.

My Meme has been in heaven for 4 years today. This is a cause for celebration! However, like most everyone else, I have a hard time celebrating. I am thinking all about what I've missed with her and what she has had to view from above instead of down here with me.

So, this will be a selfish post. But aren't they all when we are talking about wishing they were in this dreadful place rather than that Glorious place?

I miss my Meme.

I missed her when I graduated from high school.
I missed her when I went to college.
I missed her when I got my first serious boyfriend and fell in love.
I missed her when I got a beautiful ring when that man asked me for forever. 
I missed her when I graduated with honors from ICC.
I missed her when she didn't walk down with the grandmothers in our wedding.
I missed her when I moved to her favorite college.
I missed her when I found out Charles and I were going to have a baby.
And I miss her today, when she has been gone for 4 years.

However, the bright side to today is that, she has no idea it has been 4 years. She is enjoying an eternity with Jesus in a beautiful paradise.

Another bright side is I know she will be waiting to hear all about the good things that she missed when I get there.

Isn't it crazy how one man, Jesus, could make the end of life such a beautiful beginning of life?
Thank the Lord.

Miss you, Meme, but I'll see you soon!
