Saying goodbye

I have started this post several times and then erased it. This past week was a tough one.  My sweet Pawpaw passed away on Saturday.  There are so many things I will remember about him.  Fishing    with bamboo poles, playing with his old lawn mowers  and midnight signings at his church.  He was truly a man of God.  Hard working, faithful, and God fearing are just a few ways to describe him.  I remember sitting on his lap and watching their little black and white tv and it never failed he would fall asleep.  He had an amazing green thumb and loved gardening.  He will truly be missed.  It was hard to say goodbye, but like my precious Mawmaw said I would not ask him to come back now that he is healthy and healed in Heaven.    

The day of his funeral we found out our Aunt Susan had passed away very unexpectedly that morning.  Saturday Tami, Amy and I were able to drive to Crocket to attend her funeral.  I was just heartbroken for my cousins.  She was a sweet woman, with a spirit that is hard to describe.  She loved Jesus with all her heart.  

This week has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster.  But as sad as I have been this week, the assurance that I will see my loved ones again gives me a peace.  It definatly makes you remember what is important in life.
