Kneel.
I kneel beside my bed and give my God everything I have. My heart. My thoughts. My emotions. My tears. I tell Him everything, and He cares. He doesn't tell me to stop crying, or even that everything will be fixed right away, rather He tells me that it's part of His plan...and for me, that's exactly what I need.
I cannot express to you my gratitude for prayer and the knowledge I have of the life to come. I know that families are forever, isn't that amazing? Forever. I know it to the deepest part of my very being, I know that even though I said goodbye, that goodbye certainly wasn't permanent. She'll be watching over me for the rest of my life. At least now she'll be there to attend all my dance concerts and high school graduation, and even though I might not see her at my wedding 5 years or so from now, she'll still be there. Even though she'll never physically hold her future great grand baby, she'll still be there all along the way. She'll still be there to influence every second of my life, just like she already has. I'm grateful for family, the atonement, prayer, and the Plan of Salvation. I'm grateful for seminary teachers that let you sit in their office and cry, I'm grateful for love, tears, the gospel, memories, hugs, life, and the life she lived.
Thank you for everything, Grammy. I'm so glad I get you as my new guardian angel. Hope you're having a party on the other side. You deserve it.
