it was a hard Thanksgiving this year. My family received some very sad news the day before thanksgiving. We found out that my grandmother has leukemia and doesn't have long to live. All of us are just devastated. My family is very close and my gramma is the rock of our family. You can turn to her for anything. She's the grandma you always find in the kitchen baking pies, cookies or some yummy dessert. She's always knitting something beautiful for someone. She always has a smile in her heart and a hug in her arms. My grandmother has a faith in Jesus that overflows to everyone she meets. I've been very selfish these past few days wishing I could have her for just a couple more years so my girls could really know how wonderful their great-grandmother. However, I know that she'll be in a much better place soon.
It's going to be a difficult Christmas, but I'm putting my best face forward for the girls and let their joy and excitement help me get through the holidays.
