This is an inactive blog I was going to lose on AOL as they are closing the doors on the AOL journal community. So,with their help, it was migrated safely to blogger.

Three Years...Still Missing you
April 23rd 2001, Mamaw entered the gates of Heaven.
We still miss you, and wish you were here.
Give Papaw a hug and a kiss for me….
Hugs and Kisses ~

It was 18 years ago the 22 that my poppa died!!!!!! My grandmother visits his grave daily. I just dont feel hes there. She turned 85 this week. on the 20th. Its a hard week for her for sure. So we share in your sorry and yet joy that they are in a better place. Lori I was wondering about you and started to email but said give her a day shes got a lot going she plannig for.
Thank you Lori for your words. Yes, it's hard. But like you said, we can find comfort in knowing they are in a better place, and are whole again. No sickness, No sorrow... They can rest at God's feet and eat at his table. How awesome is that, when you really think about it.. I'll say a prayer for your grandmother today. Bless her heart... (email on way to you shortly, and yes, it's been a busy week) hugs!
I often think about my grandparents and the sacrifices their generations made for our country. I sometimes look around and wonder if we're made of the same stuff. They sure seem smarter and tougher than we are. Bless you on this day.
My grandma I miss terribly too. Every may (when my roses first come in and we have buckets of blossoms) I go to her grave with my brother and cover it with roses. we make a family thing of it - pick flower petals and heads, go visit grandma at the cemetary and barbeque and then talk the night through. this is nice you are doing this - it'll help you with your grief. But that never goes away - Grandma died over 10 years ago.
I know how it hurts. I miss my Dad a lot. The most frustrating thing for me is not being able to pick up the telephone and call him. They say "Time heals all wounds". Well you and I can attest that it doesn't. Hi Stephen. Regards, Bill
Awww.. this reminds me so much of my grandmother. I was in the bathroom the other day and was just struck by how much I missed her. It's funny how it sneaks up on you like that. :(
This is a brief and touchingly simple tribute to your Mamaw. It's easy enough to see how much you love her and how much she means to you. In some ways she didn't really leave; in your memories of her she will live on forever.

I know exactly how you feel. They're in a really good place now, together forever.
You'll see them again....
Love you, Penny

What a precious picture. I know she still occupies a special place in your heart!

My grandmom died almost 25 years ago and I still miss her. This was a great tribute! :-) ---Robbie
Very sweet, Mia. How nice of you to remember your mamaw this way. I'm sure she's smiling from Heaven.

I wish I had known my maternal grandmother better. She died when I was very young. I envy those that have been able to spend time with theirs...
