Wow, that title sounds so...sad.  While this is a sad post for me it's also a beautiful reflection of a life shared with such an amazing woman.  Last year on Christmas morning I lost my Grammie (my mom's mom).  I got the call shortly after opening gifts with my in-laws.  My mom wanted to wait to tell me until after we had been with them so not to ruin Christmas.  What she will never know is that it didn't ruin Christmas.  While the moment was sad, I was content in knowing she was no longer in pain or feeling ill.  To have her no longer suffering was my Christmas wish.

It's hard to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries so many other days but for some reason Grandparent's Day stood out to me this year.  We are blessed that Hannah and Savannah have Grandparent's who adore and love them so completely, between David's parents, my mom who is down a lot to see us as well as my dad and step-mom who we actually just saw today!

I'm also reminded today about the Grandparent's that David and I have lost. Last year we both lost our last living Grandparent, David's Granny passed away on November 1st and my Grammie (my mom's mom) passed away on Christmas morning.  Since both leaving us so suddenly it's been very important to us to have the girls with their Grandparent's as much as possible.

I know it's not "cool" to hang out with your Grandparent's but I want the girls to know that they are so loved that it shouldn't matter if it's cool or not and to really take the time to appreciate these amazing people who give so much of themselves for them.

So if you are lucky enough to still have a Grandparent with you today, take some time, give them a call or stop in to see them...they should know not just today but everyday how much you love and appreciate all that they have done for you.
