Tiffany, Kyle, and I with MawMaw ~ Christmas 2008I got a call from my dad today letting me know that my MawMaw had passed away. She was 91 years old and had lived a full, wonderful life. Most importantly, she loved the Lord.
She no longer has to look up our names in her little notebook to remember who we are and how we "fit" into her life as loved ones. She no longer has to ask us the same questions multiple times and then say, "Oh, yes. That's right. I remember. . . " She no longer has to be alone and think about my PawPaw, who died a little over three years ago. No, she is with Jesus and that brings such great joy to my heart.
This day has been bittersweet. I will miss her a great deal, for sure. But I am so thankful that she is with the Lord, rejoicing at His throne, filled with joy in the fullness of His presence. Just thinking about it makes me long for that day even more!
Thank you, Lord, for a grandmother who was faithful, who loved me, and more importantly, loved You. I treasure the memories I have of her and eagerly await the day when we will be together, worshipping You.
