Today is a sad but joyous day. Early this morning my Grandma Dicia pasted away. After many year of lossing herself to alzheimers disease she finally subcumbed to this terrible disease. What makes this day joyous is she is with our heavenly father. I am so glad that she is no longed scared and confused but able to be in Heaven. Can you imagine Christmas in Heaven. WOW!!!! I'm sure it is such an amazing thing that we being fragile human beings could not even handle the magnitude and excitement of it. I picture my Grandma Dicia in Heaven (being a farm girl) leaning with her mother against a split rail fence watching some beautiful horses run across the field.
I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandma. I feel so fortunate to be the oldest grandchild and always living close to her. My grandma was only 44 when I was born. She was so young that she was almost like a second mom to me when I was little. Since she still had young kids at home herself she was still in mom mode when I was a younf child. One of my first memories of her was when I was 3 or 4 and I was making funny faces at her. Like most Grandmas she said the my face was going to stick like that. I thought for the longest time that it would. But thankfully it never happened because I can make some pretty ugly faces. When I was little I also remember asking grandma to paint a seatshirt for me for my birthday. I treasured that sweatshirt and wore it all the time. What an amazing talent she had for painting the cutest things. I know that all the family has many things made by her that we all treasure. (My christmas tree is covered in them) It seems like it has been a long time since I lost my grandma. Before she was sick she would giggle at everything. What a sweet quality that I have already missed. She was a collector of antiques, anything with horses on it, she loved to read. I will miss her soooo much but I am so happy and joyous for her to be in Gods presence. I look forward to the day that the Lord also call me to him to spend eternity. Dear Heavenly Father thank you for sending me such an amazing person to be such an important part of my life. I know that her time here is now done and that you need her more. Thank you for the years you shared her with me and I look forward to the day that we will be reunited in your presence. Amen
