Reflections

Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of my grandpas death.


I feel like no matter what I write, it will not adequately describe my feelings of appreciation for this man being a part of my life. I will just do the best I can. 

He was such a sweet man, so in love with his family and the gospel. A real inspiration to everyone he knew. 

I was able to spend the day with my mom, and there was a certain reverence to our time together. We went to the cemetery to put flowers on his grave. We didn't stay long, but we shared precious moments. 

The emotion of the day caused me to reflect on my life's blessings. I have two amazing parents, three fun-loving brothers, and the best husband I could ever ask for. Here is an excerpt from a song entitled "For Good" These words speak truth about so many people in my life, friends, family, co workers. But today I want to dedicate these words to my grandpa.

'I've heard it said 
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you....'

Things change, but the experiences we've had together are great.
Love you, miss you...
