In Memory..

I just wanted to take a second to remember one of the sweetest men in my life... my Grandpa Harold. I was thinking as I was blogging last night how much I miss him. Whenever I have a funny story about Jackson I realize it afresh that the pain of loss never totally goes away. He would tell stories about the grand & great grand kids over and over and I feel cheated not to have been able to share my kids with him and have the joy and pride of hearing the way he would talk about them. I know I'm not alone in my sadness over his loss. I am so thankful for all the memories that bring laughter & tears. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I can't begin to express how much I feel the exact same... we have talked about this before and though I know we will one day be reunited, it is still an open wound many days. Thanks be to God that He has blessed us with the family that we have.
