1 Year

One year ago, I was anxiously waiting for school to be over with. One year ago, I was eating dinner with my family and my best friend at my favorite Mexican restaurant. One year ago I was dancing and singing praises to my God at a Hillsong concert with Carley. One year ago, I was driving home with the windows down and the radios cranked, not a care in the world. One year ago, I got the worst news ever.

It seems unreal that it has already been a year since my Gramma passed away. I cannot believe that it's already March 4th again. Not a day goes by when I don't think of her; everytime it rains I have this urge to go stand in the downpour because it reminds me so much of sweet memories sitting by the window watching it rain or snow with Gramma.

When my parents told me that they were going to come up for the Aggie Baseball game today, I knew it was more than them wanting to see a baseball game. I had seen them the past 2 weekends, and Spring Break is next week, so I knew it wasn't that either. I knew that my parents wanted us all to be together today.

It seems unbelievable that it has already been a year. I am excited though, knowing that Gramma is in Heaven. Unfortunately, I have known several kids that have passed away in this past year, three in this past month. I take comfort knowing that my Gramma can still be a gramma to those children up in Heaven, and know that one day, she'll be my gramma up there too.

I miss her everyday, but I know that one day I will be able to see her again, and watch the rain with her again, and laugh and be silly with her again. One day!
