One of my favorite quotes I know I've used on here is "Life is not about weathering the storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain." Today I feel as though, "But what do you do when life sends a hurricane / monsoon / tsunami?"
My Granny passed this morning. I feel blessed that we did get the opportunity to say goodbye. She was... amazing. I don't know if there is a word limit on this blogger.com but I am sure I could over flow it with all the stories and descriptions. I won't. She was 94, almost 95. She was loved. She was ready to be with her Lord and had told us so. In our family quilt she was the backing and stiching that held us all together, but she did not pass with out showing us how to hold our own. Our family is incredible, crazy and strong. She had something to do with all of that. ;) My heart is sad knowing she's gone, but also is rejoicing for her. She will never again know pain, which was something that had become a daily companion of hers. She will not know sorrow. God gave me the wonderful gift of getting to kiss her check and say "I love you" one last time. Too many I know and have known did not get that chance. So I feel so blessed to have gotten that.
If any of you know the song "She's Gonna Fly" by Colin Raye that's how I'm feeling right now.
Well my bloggers, maybe someday I can make it a whole week with out a sad post.... for now, bear with me.

I know Collin Raye, and, of course, I know that your Granny is gonna fly. She was definitely an amazing woman. She'll be up there flying around with Ya-ya somewhere. ;-)
