Life Changes...

Today was a day that brought a great loss. We (mainly those that knew her best) lost a great woman today. Grandma Dot as I knew her, was a great lady. Although I have only known her 7.5 years of her life, she greatly touched mine. Grandma Dot is my sister in law, Courtney's Grandmother. A lady who I believe was more like her best friend than her grandma. And I for one can truly respect and sympathize with her loss.

Her death made me think about a lot of things today. Mainly how life changes and wishing beyond anything imaginable that life would never change but at that same time that it would only change just enough for life to continue. It also got me to thinking about my family.

Although we do not always see eye to eye, I do truly and honestly love each and everyone in my family. And I wish for them all to know that I do love them.

As stated before, Grandma Dot's passing made me think about a lot of things today. Steve and I went driving, mostly to get my mind off of the sadness that I have been feeling for the Choco family. While driving, we somehow ended up in different places that I grew up in or around. Different places that made me realize how much I don't want life to change. But what makes me wish this even more, is wishing that we could have all those who passed away back...even if it were just one more day.

When I think about Grandma Dot, I think about someone who just loved life and everyone around her, even if she didn't know you; which was the case when Jeremy and Courtney first got married, we met them the day of the wedding pretty much with just hours to go. She had this way about her that you felt like she was your grandma even though she really wasn't.

To say the least, this is a sad day for all who even knew Grandma Dot...even sadder for those who were closer than ever to her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all this day and always.
