Today has been an overall great day. No more like a blessing in disguise. God is seeing me through my valley one day at a time. He walks so high above me, that He blocks the rain from falling on me :)
One of my houses that I clean, is the grandmother of a friend of mine. She specifically told me to call her Meemaw :) My heart was all warm and fuzzy all over. The only grandmother I have still living is my mom's step-mother. The first time I met Meemaw, I wanted to cry. I was reminded of my dear great-grandmother; she passed 10 years ago February. She looks nothing of my grandmother, nor even the same age. She smells like my grandmother(I read once that our memories can be triggered by smells). Not a stink smell or even that old person smell you find at nursing homes. My grandmother smelt of love--warm, heart-felt embraceable bond that only a grandmother knows the recipe for.
I usually tear up when I remember my grandmother. She was my whole heart. I was 16 and believed she would live for ever. She isn't dead. She's only sleeping. When Jesus returns, she'll be awaken and will greet me at the gates of Heaven. I do miss her physically, but she is always in my heart forever.

It is amazing how something can trigger memories so easily. :) I tear up when I remember my Papaw. I know that he is only sleeping too... and I will see him again.
