Reflections......

Well the last few weeks have certainly been interesting. My amazing, energetic, fiesty, inspiring grandmother of 88 passed away on Sunday, January 27th. She passed away peacefully about an hour after President Hinkley. It was a bit unexpected so I have taken it pretty hard. If you know me well, you know that I am very close to my grandparents and this loss has certainly been difficult for me. My mom also started chemo(sp?) the same week my grandma passed. I have also had some students that have lost loved ones around this time, so of course it has caused much reflection. I am so grateful for the gospel and the comfort it has given to me at this time. If you know me well, you know that "church things" haven't really come easy and my testimony has definitely struggled through the years. The experiences and trials of late have really helped me to see how there is truly a plan for us and that our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ are really there for us. I am so comforted in the fact that I know my grandma is with other loved ones and that I will be with her again. I miss her so much and I always will. Death is something that happens everyday, but it is always hard when it is someone close to you. It always makes you contemplate on life and where you are going....it has just made me focus on what is truly important....I feel so blessed...I am able to work with amazing people and kids everyday, I have a wonderfully supportive family and a wonderful man in my life and the little light of my life....my little Keiya! Oh yeah, I decided to go RED!!! What do ya think????
