Dear Grandma...



Dear Grandma,
This past weekend spent with people I love was absolutely wonderful and completely reviving. I feel as though I am carrying enough love with me to get me through the next month until I see you all again. The happiness that my mother has found is something I have waited my whole life to see. She is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen; surrounded with a glowing aura that I can only imagine surrounds angels. My father walks tall and strong with a confidence that I have never seen him have before. He is finding himself again through the activities and hobbies he loves most. It amazes me how this time last year I thought that the rest of my life would forever be broken but spring has sprung from such hard cold ground and I know now that no matter how bleak a situation seems the sun can always shine and give life to new memories and experiences. My loved ones are happy and if the Lord saw fit to take me today, I would be fine with that because here on earth I know that all is well. All weekend as Aaron and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, I kept thinking about our journey together. My life did not start until he came into it. I adore him in every way, shape, and form. He is the greatest thing about me. He is my world. My beautiful Oaklee has always reminded of a little ladybug. The way she just flits about her activities so carefree reminds me of watching a ladybug dance in the wind, getting carried away by a current and then gently finding itself to rest on the arm of the person watching it. So gently, so lightly just marching to the beat of its' own drum. That is my O-ee to a T. And also my sweet Maisy Jane. She is the sunshine during a time I thought was going to be so cloudy. Her smile lightens all moments and warms my soul inside out. She is the sweetest warmth ever to find me. So my world, my ladybug, and my ray of sunshine. Can you think of any three more precious things than that? I can't. Grandpa was so beautiful to me. His white hair and matching brows made him look to me the way people describe manifesting heavenly beings look like. I have always loved his stories and the comedic wisdom he shares. You looked fantastic. Your necklace matched your outfit so perfect and your hair was done so pretty. I have always loved loosing myself in your soft hugs and the knowledge that I really am your favorite Rachel. I love you both so much. It was wonderful to see you guys after so long. Well I better go make sure that Oaklee isn't trashing her bedroom to bad. I love you!!!
Love, your granddaughter, Rotten Rach
