Hello, friends. I’m afraid I have some bad news. Yesterday afternoon, Heaven gained a wonderful woman. God calls her Child. Those she left behind call her Mom, Friend, Nana, Granny. I call her Grandma. She is a beautiful, smart, witty, crafty, talented woman who will be missed tremendously. She loved with all her heart and gave hugs that could ease your pain. She had the motherly/grandmother intuition that let her know when something was wrong. Sometimes she would text me, ” Nik, you can’t hide things from Grandma. You can tell me anything”, and I could because I knew that she would keep my secrets safe. She and I had a grandma/granddaughter sleep over some years ago that didn’t quite go as planned. We kept saying that she owed me another one. I told her last night, “you owe me a girls night when I get there”. I know that hopefully that won’t be for a long time from now, but I wanted her to know I hadn’t forgotten about it. The pain of losing her keeps coming in waves. Her going Home yesterday was completely unexpected and the whole family is hurting and a bit in shock. I would like to ask you all to please pray for peace and comfort, especially for her children, most of whom are living across country. I know that this must be especially hard on them being so far away. My uncle who was living with her is going to have a lot to handle and could use prayers for peace, comfort and strength.
I just spoke to you on Friday
It was so good to hear your voice
We’d talk again I was sure
But I guess God needed you more
You were going to stop by tomorrow
You had a box of food for us
You said you’d leave it outside the door
But I guess God needed you more
Christmas will be here soon
I had your gift all planned out
I was going to paint the picture you asked me for
But I guess God needed you more
I’ve been terrible about calling
We didn’t visit nearly enough
You still had plenty of time in this world
But I guess God needed you more
Friends, hug those around you, pick up the phone, make the trip. We are not promised tomorrow; let them know now how much you love them.
With love,
J♡
My heartfelt prayers for you and your family. You were all so blessed and loved. XOXO
