It`s not until someone is gone that you know the true impact that they have on your life. I`ve come to realize that no matter how much you may not think that you are close to someone, they still leave an impression on your heart, your soul, and your life. Of recent events, I lost my grandmother. When I first found out it didn`t move me like most thought it should have. I was saddened of course of the loss, but I never really had time to spend with her because - like the rest of my family - she lived out of state. So there wasn`t that emotional connection to her that I have with those family members that I am much closer to. However, I still have those few memories and moments I shared with her that I cherish.
Of all things that make it easier to deal with this loss is that she was a TRUE image of what a woman of God should look like. Which in the end, leaves me rested assure that she has gone to be with the Lord. I am happy because she no longer has to deal with the worries of this world, and she can rest peacefully in Heaven. The common denominator that everyone could say about her. Most times that i`ve gone to funerals, they have NEVER been like this one. Everyone was filled with praise and rejoice because we all knew she made it over. A place where mostly all people strive to be, one of them being me.
She has been an inspiration to me more then I even knew. All I want to do is continue the legacy she has started by continuing to plant the word of God in peoples lives, but most importantly my kids (when I have them lol) The most important thing in my life is to Keep God in everything I do. Because with out him anything I do won`t mean anything if I can`t bring glory to his name. I know that any success I gain is because of him, and NOBODY else! I will miss her, but I thank God for her ... and teaching my mom the word - which she is now passing down to me.
