Thanksgiving…

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with the family….

Here we are…everyone except Mark, who’s in the Air Force (We miss you and love you buddy). 

We didn’t know it at the time, but it would be the last holiday we would spend with my Grandma Marie.  What a blessing it was to have one last great day with her.  She suffered a stroke the Sunday after Thanksgiving and when home to be with the Lord on December 11.  She was on this earth for 100 years and was healthy and strong and funny right up to the end.  Here she is holding Grace on Thanksgiving (she’s on the left)…

 I have a lot of things to be thankful for… my Grandmother is certainly one of them.  I am thankful that the Lord blessed our family with such a wonderful woman.  I am thankful that the Lord gave her a long life.  I am that I was able to tell her how much I loved her before she died.   I am so thankful that she was here to meet our baby Grace.  I am thankful for all the wonderful memories.  I can’t wait to tell Grace all about her Grandma when she gets older.

She will be missed…
