My grandma and grandpa
Their wedding day
A gorgeous bride and a handsome groom - my grandparents.
My grandma had eight children, all unique and so special.
My grandma loved her flowers. On any given day there were at least 10 small jars/vases in her kitchen of a flower she had picked or a plant stem that needed stronger roots, growing them all in water. She cared for her plants like the Lord cared for her. Every breath she took she was dedicated to her faith.
And to her husband of 62 years.

Today on Valentines Day, my grandmother will be laid to rest. What better way to say I love you than today. We will honor such a strong, gentle grandmother, mother, daughter and friend to so many. I will carry you in my heart always, grandma. I love you.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
