Horrible Irony.

It's just so ironic that just yesterday evening I wrote an entry about taking a moment to remember those we've loved and lost in our lives--realizing that there is just too much death in the world today. I heard my own words repeat over and over in my head this morning as the phone rang and I was the only one home to pick it up...

"Mary passed away early this morning...I am so sorry for your loss..."

My strength gave in as the tears started to roll down my cheeks, I could feel myself become choked as I realized that I had to break to my dad that his mother had passed away. I felt at a loss for words--I felt my own tears burn within me. The only thing I could think of was how much I love her and how much I'm going to miss her. This came as such a shock...

I took a walk at 7:30 this morning in the brisk morning air to clear my head--I knelt at the park by my house and just cried out to God. I miss her...

Today I prayed and found comfort in God's arms--I know grandma is happier now than she ever was here on earth. I just wish I could see that smile one more time...

RIP Grandma--August 4th, 2006.
