A year ago today I lost my Grandma very suddenly. I don't like remembering days like this but it just kind of is ingrained in your brain I think. Yesterday my family got together to celebrate the life Grandma had and the lives she touched.
I have a blanket that needs mending but can't bring myself to do it by myself, it got mended by grandma at one of my last visits to her before she got sick.....that was always her job....to fix our mending.....she taught me how to sew....I haven't sewn much this year.....I don't really want to talk about it....I want to crawl back in bed really....but life goes on.....
deep breath....someone once told me that when you are consumed with sadness one of the greatest things you can do is invest love into someone else. She said the easiest person to give love to was a child. The Joy of a child is like nothing else.....I feel so blessed to be surrounded by 6 joyful bundles all day today!

So here is some pictures of my family celebrating Grandma.
This is a beautiful post, Amy! I can relate to your loss, but I think it's wonderful you chose to celebrate the life she lived. It sounds like she was an amazing woman. :)
