At the end of May our family had the opportunity to go to Utah for my Grandmother's funereal. It was a beautiful experience and I will never forget the bitter sweet feelings that were felt with everyone who attended. I like to think of funerals as the graduation party for loved ones. That is truley how I felt with Tutu's funeral. I felt such a strong sense of peace and happiness. I will miss her of course but as the song says "God be with you till we meet again".
I love families and the family unit... I love the bonds that I have with Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc... I hope that I can teach my children how lucky they are to have such a wonderful support group, a support group that I hope they come to depend on. I love my Grandmother and the Beautiful legacy that she has left for all of us to enjoy and benifit from. I love her strength and I love the strength that she gave to my Mother. I hope someday that I can have that same strength.
I am so grateful for the gospel and for the knowledge that we have... to know that death isn't the end... that we will meet again. I am so grateful to know that I will live with my family for eternity. What greater blessing is there?
