Tomorrow will be 14 months since my mother has left this earth to be with our heavenly Father. It seems like she has been gone for longer than 14 months since Keith and I have gone through so many changes in the past year. Since my mom has passed away we have gotten married, shared Keith's 22nd birthday, moved from Minnesota to Wyoming, witnessed my dad's marriage to Sandy, had a baby girl, shared my 22nd birthday, remembered mom's one year since her passing, and shared Keith's 23rd birthday. A lot of big things have happened. As I look at my mom's facebook page it feels like her life froze in time. Her profile picture is a picture of her embraced in my dad's arms as she looks lovingly into his eyes in our home in Minnesota. Her cover picture is a collage of pictures taken for my 16th birthday of my brothers and me. One of the last things she posted was on July 2nd, 2016. She said "
Our baby girl gets married in just a few weeks . . . so happy for her and Keith! I just love their wedding site..." I miss her so much! Now, my dad is married to another woman. My brother, Jonathan, is in college, Cole started high school and Nick is in 5th grade. I live in another state with a daughter of my own. There's so much I want to tell her about. I want her to meet and love on my baby, her grandbaby! She LOVED babies, as I do. We have decided that Beth-Renee will know her as Nanna. I think she would have loved this name because it reminds us of her dear Aunt Ninnie, who was like a grandma to me when I was growing up. Death stings! But one day Jesus will return and the sting of death will be no more! Oh how I long for that day! As I continue in this earthly life I will tell Beth-Renee and the rest of the children Keith and I will have all about Nanna! I'll show them her blogs about when I was little and the cute family videos we have. I miss her dearly and can't wait for the day we are reunited with our heavenly Father! Oh what a day that will be! Until then I will pursue the Lord and learn more and more about Him. I will fight the good fight and keep the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
