Practical and emotional thoughts

Grandma passed away this afternoon. Thankfully, I was here. She died when I would've been on the plane. After spending more time with her yesterday, I think I would've decided to stay anyway, but Aunt Dairy Princess had decided to fly in today, so that had already made my decision for me. I was relieved, and now I'm glad.
It's been a hard few days, just having to wait, but it's been a good few days, getting to say goodbye and spending time together as a family. It's amazing how at peace we all are, and yet it's not surprising. She was such a godly woman, and she raised us all so well in the Truth that we can't help but be happy for her. Yes, we'll miss her, but the Glory of Where she is now outshines any grief we have here. I'm so very thankful for that.
