A few weeks ago my grandmother passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. She was just a couple weeks shy of her 80th birthday, and seemed to be in very good health. Nobody in the family was expecting anything like this for another 10 years. Needless to say, it is hard losing her. She played a bigger part in her grandkids' lives than most grandmas do. My oldest brother started calling her "Mema" before he could say grandma, and the nickname stuck. She was such a light to all of us. Nobody could make you feel more important. She was such a beautiful example of grace, elegance, how to love life, and how to love others. I'm so grateful that I know I'll be able to see her again.
