Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day my family had to say good-bye to one of the loves of our lives, Sexy Memaw. My Memaw was a strong, beautiful, and inspring woman. She amazed us and doctors at how she fought pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, Jesus let her fight her final war with pain and took her to be "home" with Him and reunited with our Pappy.

We all miss her daily. We've found healing and comfort in sharing our "Memaw Memories," and have created a family facebook page to talk to stay in closer contact with one another. It's been a nice and comforting outlet to share a random memory or picture that we come across.

One day I was looking through pictures of Memaw. Miles came to me with a picture of Memaw and clearly he said "Meee--maw!" I didn't know if I wanted to smile or cry. That moment overwhelmed me with joy that Miles in his short life recognizes Memaw and sadness that he won't get to see her again for a long time. I just hugged him tight and said Memaw loves you so much buddy. You brought her great joy. I'll continue to tell him that for the rest of his life!

Some days are harder than others, but peace fills my heart that she is finally at home with our King!
