we remembered my grandma this month.
she passed away three years ago but it still feels like yesterday. i know that she is in a better place with her loved ones enjoying the heavenly presence of God and His beauty. i imagine her walking the streets of gold hand in hand with her creator and smiling so greatly taking in all around her.
at times i think she is sitting under a humongous tree having conversations with her juan (my grandpa) telling him about all of us still here and having tea with her family that have passed before her.
these are things that comfort me reminding me that her passing is not something to be saddened by but to rejoice in knowing that she will no longer suffer here on earth. that she is the blessed one to finally see God face to face.
i hope she knows how grateful i am for her and how much time i wish i could take back and spend it with her. i hope she knows that i love her and miss her dearly and that i wished she was here to meet genesis. i miss her fragile hands and her faithfulness to our family. she was strong even though she was weak, she saw our beauty even though she could not see and she comforted us even though her memory of who we were faded as time passed.
she is the women that i get my fighting strength from and i am forever grateful to call her grandma.

the picture on our dinning table is the last picture she took before her passing. richard and i asked if she can be apart of our engagement photos...little did we know it was the last time we saw her at her home.
We Love You Grandma!
Forever in Our Hearts
