passing of a very sweet life

there were moments today that i wish i could have captured with my camera.
instead i stood by being respectful and praying i could remember clearly the tender moments that took place.
grandma dayley quickly took a turn for the worse this week
and mitch and i were able to make arrangements for us to quickly come to idaho to be with family.
we had intentions of leaving yesterday afternoon
however with a pile of laundry and a house that needed to be prepped for our absence
we didn't make the drive up until this morning.
arriving in chubbuck about 1:30 we were able to see grandma one more time
we were able to hold her hand and tell her we love her.
as i've spent the afternoon surrounded by family i was able to see how much love they had for her.
she was a wife, a wonderful mother and a loving grandma.
she was dedicated to the lord
grandpa treated her as his queen. the way every woman dreams of.
he was her primary care taker the past couple of years as her health has dwindled.
she was a sweet and soft spoken lady and i'm grateful for the privileged i had to met her and have her as my grandma.
this morning as i was curled up in bed, i read some of the most beautiful words written by my mother in law about grandma.
as i listened to everyone recall their favorite memories of her this afternoon...
grandma was an incredible woman and i wish i had known her longer.
as her time here came to an end, i'm grateful that i was able to watch the men {grandpa, dad, uncle eric and mitch} bless her one last time.
a blessing of release.
the spirit was strong and i'm so grateful for my testimony of life after death.
i look forward to the day i get to meet grandma and get to know her more.
her passing is saddening but filled with so much joy and happiness
perhaps that comes from knowing that her life was well lived and her time here was done.
i was blessed watching grandpa so lovingly kissing her good bye, talking sweetly to her and holding her hand.
i pray that my marriage will reflect such love and devotion and kindness with time.
