We were so blessed to grow up with a grandma that was only a room away from us.
I can't describe the bond that we had with my grandma, because it was unearthly.
We were able to go sleep with her whenever we wanted, her room was always so warm, her hands were always so warm.
She smelled of flour and Clorox, because she was always cleaning something.
We would take a dead sprint to her room when my mom was mad, we would hide behind her so my mom wouldn't hit us.
So blessed to have a grandma that prayed with us whenever we had nightmares, when we were sick, when we were sad.
A grandma who told us since we were little girls to "marry someone who loves you more."
A grandma who knew struggle, a grandma who was a single mom to 5 children.
Those children didn't let you go a day of your life unloved did they mama?
They gave you 28 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
Mama, you were everything to us.
It hurts so much, so, so much, it's going to take a lot of time for this pain to ease at all.
This hurt is unlike anything we've ever felt, we were so close to you grandma.
Our heads hurt from crying, our hearts ache, but it's only because we're humans.
Our spirits remain joyful though, I hope you saw us all laughing Thursday night till 12 in the morning, laughing at pictures, and at all the funny things you did and said.
I hope you heard all of your grandchildren singing and praising the Lord.
I hope that God let you see us all together.
Congratulations Mama, what a victory it is to die knowing Christ.
Precious in the sight of the Lord are the death of His Saints.
We love you Mama, we love you present tense.
Pronto te vere.
I'll see you soon.
It's the moment when humanity is overcome by majesty,when grace is ushered in for good and all the scars are understood. When mercy takes its rightful place and all these questions fade away.
When out of weakness we must bow and hear You say "It's over now"
