Not now, but for eternity

I was thinking today of all the things that I still have in my life that my grandma will not be able to experience with me. Things like my high school graduation, my wedding, my children. I actually got really upset thinking about this earlier.

There is no way that she will be here on Earth for those events. But I know she is in Heaven laughing at my blondeness, cheering me on at polo games. I know she will be clapping, whooping, and hollering as I receive my diploma in June.

She many not be able to be here to experience these things in my life, but I know that when it is my time, she will be standing at Heaven's gates welcoming me Home at which point I will be able to spend eternity with her in Heaven's perfectness.

Not now, but for eternity.
