Corey and I wishing we would have made more time to see him, our children and thier happy memories of him which make them sad when they start thinking he is no longer here. <BR/>Planning a trip like this is hard and getting our children prepared for what they will see and here even harder. My mother has said this is a part of life and to raise healthy balanced children they have to experience all parts of life. I want to shield them so much from this but I know that if you don't experience true sadness, you may never know what true happiness feels like. <BR/>I have come to think of Mammaw and Pappaw Beard as my own grandparents. I lost my grandfather 8 years ago, 2 months before John was born and then my grandmother 3 years ago, 2 months after Julia was born. Losing them has taught me to celebrate grandparents and even after 3 years of not having my Memaw around, the boys still ask about her. I will have to write about them sometime so my children can come read this someday.<BR/>Today has made me realize that we are going to have a special day for grandparents in our house, they will not be forgotten.Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561677920271657203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047658282475617216.post-73934686063035797022009-02-03T10:37:00.000-08:002009-02-03T10:37:00.000-08:00I'm sorry that your family is going through pain. ...I'm sorry that your family is going through pain. <BR/><BR/> Your post made me cry. It reminded me of when my Granni died and we drove up to her house to visit my gramdfather who was hurting so, and Ethan at not even three years old jumped up and down in his car seat when we pulled into her driveway saying, "Yippee! We get to see GG!" When I explained, through tears, that she was in heaven with Jesus he began to cry and said, "I don't want GG to be with Jesus, I want to see her in her house." I know that's probably how your kids are feeling. <BR/><BR/> Let me know if you need anything.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386047721719991363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047658282475617216.post-71729952939862017502009-02-03T04:29:00.000-08:002009-02-03T04:29:00.000-08:00Oh Anne Marie!
