Remember Me

Today is Memorial Day. The day of remembrance. In my lifetime I have lost a lot of people who are very dear to me. And today I will think of those people and count myself lucky for the difference each made in their own special way in my life and to who I am.

Those I'm dearly missing: Grandpa Randall, the best grandpa that I could have ever asked for. I will always be your "muffin," and no one will ever make chocolate chip cookies like you! Pauline, who was no blood relation to me, but always treated me as her own grand daughter. Frances, the grandmother I never got a chance to know. Olivia, who lived only to the age of eleven but in that short time affected the lives of so many. I have the greatest memories with you. Bart White, a classmate and a friend since the age of six. Johnathan Hammond, a friend that I miss very much. Nevada and Grandpa Lair, two people I wish I would have been closer to. Justin, my brother's best friend that was taken from this world at such a young age.

One day we will meet again in Heaven and what an incredible day that will be.
