I thought about shutting down this blog and creating a new one. It's hard to pick up from Grandpa's death and keep going. I don't want the part of my life that has Grandpa in it to be over. But he isn't here and this life keeps moving. As Meredith once said you can let life drag you along in the dirt or you can try to run with it (loose paraphrase).
Even if we as a family do come to a point where it's "normal" for Grandpa not to be here, our lives will always be broken by his absence. Makes me look forward to the second coming more. And I suppose that will be the case with every death of a fellow believer.
Good bye, Grandpa.

Oh, tinkerbell. I hurt for you.
I hate death. It's hard to grip why the sun still shines and the leaves still blow when someone you love is no longer here - its like the world doesn't understand that your heart is breaking. I'm praying for you - that the Creator will lift you up and carry you along when you feel the dirt.
just want to share my thoughts on this specific topic with ya....

Hilary it hurts and it's okay. We are suppose to hurt. That part of your life will never be normal. It's not suppose to be. Do we live a normal life in an abnormal world or an abnormal life in a normal world? I could go deeper with those thoughts... but I'll save it for another blog :)
As for "shutting down your blog". don't do it!!! Write about it. Talk about him. Tell stories. It's hard to think of death as something God has done for the glory of His kingdom and that God isn't trying to hurt us by taking our loved ones from us.
okay, I've said enough, possibly too much :) I hope it made sense!
praying for you,
Amy D.
