Story about Grandmother

A Letter from Mom

My wife and her best friend sat down with my Mom several months ago and they came up with a plan to make a “Grandma Book” for each grandchild. Each book has pictures of Grandma specific to the kid as well as pictures of Mom’s life. At the back of the books Mom wrote a unique letter to each grandchild and a general letter to all of them. I want to share the latter with you here.

My Dear Grandchildren

Psalm 139:16 (NLT)

You saw me before I was born

Every day of my life was recorded in your book

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed

God has decided that now is the time for me to go and be with Him. The days recorded in His book have come to and end for me on earth and I know God’s plan is perfect. Some people will tell you that cancer won. Or that I lost my battle with cancer but that is simply not true. My assignment is complete. I have finished all the days for my life that he recorded in His book. God is the only one who holds life in His hands.

Although I would love to be here to watch you grow up and get married and have children of your own. I would love to plant flowers and vegetables in the spring with you and dig wormers and go on walks but God has other plans. I know for sure that God loves us all and has sent His Son Jesus so that we can all be in heaven together with Him some day.

So, I will go ahead and wait for you.

My old body is like a glove. When a hand goes into a glove it gives it life and it can move and do things. When the hand comes out of the glove, the glove is empty and can’t do anything on its own. That is like my body. When my spirit was in it, I could run and play and bake and do all the things we loved to do but my body got sick and God decided to take me to heaven. I’m still alive but my body is old and doesn’t work without me in it.

Remember always that your Grandma loves you very much. I’ll ask God if I can help get things ready in heaven for the day when we can all be together again. You are some of God’s most precious gifts to me. Take care of Grandpa for me.

I’ll see you soon!!!

With hugs and kisses,

Grandma

Mom was so grieved by the thought that the grandkids would not remember her. We will not let that happen Mom. We love and miss you greatly. You ran a very good race and I could not be prouder of you
