Today is my sweet Grandma's birthday. She should still be here...sometimes things really are not fair! I miss her so much! I don't feel like I have ever really let myself mourn her death...honestly I am afraid to. I hate going to her house now. It just isn't the same without hearing her giggle or hearing her slippers on the kitchen floor as she came out to greet us. I miss her cards and phone calls. She has always been my biggest cheerleader. I hate that she won't get to see my children and never got to meet Tessa. She would have loved Tess!

One comforting thing is that I do have a testimony of the Gospel. I know I will see her again someday and somehow, that makes my heart ache just a little less.

Thank you Grandma for your love and encouragement. Thank you for your sweet, quiet example. Thank you for teaching me that no matter what happens, I have the power to make a better life for myself and those I love. Thank you for teaching me the importance of being a strong and independent woman. Your legacy will live on for generations!

I love and miss you so much!
Happy Birthday!

A Visit To Santa

Adam and Tessa got to see someone special today! They were so excited and told him everything they had written on their lists. It was super cute to watch!
