This weekend I lost a good friend of mine. As you may know, I am very close to all of my family and consider all of them my friends as well. My Granny was 88 years old when she passed away on April 17, 2010. In my 21 years, I have gotten to know my Granny as a kind, loving, and Godly woman. She was never afraid to speak her mind to her children, husband, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren - believe me, I know! She was stubborn, feisty, and a fighter and she fought until the very end. More importantly, she was and still is a woman of God. I have only met a few others that love the Lord as much as she does and I strive to be like her in my spiritual walk. Upon finding out about Granny's passing, I was angry, confused, and sad. In my mind, she was supposed to wait a couple of weeks for me to get back to Michigan to say my goodbyes personally. Why are we, as human beings, selfish like that? God gave us our families. Why do we not want to share them with Him and let them go when it is time? God put us on this earth to one day come back to Him. April 17 was Granny's day and I know for a fact she couldn't be happier! She has missed my Papa everyday for the last 11 years and I know that they are finally together again. Granny always mentioned one thing that she wanted. She wanted everyone she knew to get right with God and stay on the right path so that we could all be together again someday in Heaven!
