My Beautiful Grams

*I started this post on Monday, but with the very hectic week we've had, I'm just now getting around to posting it...




My sweet Grams went to be with Jesus yesterday, February 26, 2012. She had fought a long battle with her liver disease, but is now perfectly whole again, dancing with her Father. What better thing to celebrate?

I am just celebrating many things, but to name a few:

 I am so thankful she got to see me marry her favorite grandson-in-law, Roberto. She had a love for 'Tito' that just melted my heart and truly made me grateful {for both of them}.

 I am beyond blessed that I was able to learn from two of the most precious people in this world, my Grams and Gramps. They were a beautiful illustration of what a Christian life & marriage together should look like. I will never forget watching my Gramps take care of her no matter how hard it became, down to the very last day. I loved watching him hold her hand to comfort her. They laughed together, cried together, and most of all, had a huge amount of love for their children and grandchildren.

I am also so happy that my Grams got to be so involved in my life, and that I got to spend so much time with her these last few months. They moved here to Ohio two days before my sweet baby boy was born, so I am grateful she got to meet her first great-grandson. 

*She never missed a special moment of my life.*

My Baby Shower - July 31, 2011

She held in her arms "her baby" {Anderson} when he was born September 26, 2011.

What a beautiful life she lived. She had an abundant love for each and every one of us, her husband, her church and her Lord. I will never forget her smile and the way she cared for me. LYF {Love You Forever}, Grams.
