recollection

There's nothing I love more than to sit down and look through old scrapbooks. Memories are the dearest things.  My grandma LaVonda passed away while D and I were engaged. I had previously raided her cupboards for decor to use at the reception and have gladly held onto it ever since.  I absolutely love having all of the constant reminders of her all around our home.  She was one lady you looked up to in every sense (besides literally, of course).  She had the sweetest spirit and was probably the most inspiring woman I have ever met.  Especially because she lived 11 years without my grandpa Lynn at her side.  Although it was one of the hardest days in my life, I could literally feel the rejoicing in the room when she was finally reunited with my dear Grandpa and Aunt Diana (she was my Dad's oldest sister and only lived around 23 days.)  Here's to eternal families.  I love this gospel with my whole heart and I cannot wait for the day when I can see this adorable couple again.  If I can be even half of the great examples they were, then I will be content. Families are forever people!  In my eyes, there is no greater blessing.
